Laparoscopic treatment of intestinal obstruction caused by an uncommon congenital band.
Congenital bands represent a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. We report a case of intestinal obstruction caused by an uncommon form of congenital band in a 16-year-old girl. The diagnosis was strongly evoked preoperatively by CT scan and the intestinal obstruction was successfully treated using a laparoscopic approach.
