title: Laparoscopic assisted right hemicolectomy for caecal volvulus.
abstract: A case of acute caecal volvulus is presented where laparoscopy was used to avoid a major laparotomy. A technique is described for safe deflation of the caecum, which allowed a small incision for resection and anastomosis.
