Rotation of the terminal ileum in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.
This case report describes rotation of the terminal ileum in a patient who had a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. To prevent this complication, the terminal ileum should be inspected laparoscopically for rotation before exteriorization of the terminal ileum and, in addition, after completion of the anastomosis.
