“…24 In 1 of our patients, a cecal loop volvulated 72 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This complication has already been reported after laparoscopy, 33 and may be due to excessive slackness of the malrotated cecum after withdrawal of the pneumoperitoneum. 34 As complete inspection of the abdomen is thought to be less satisfactory under laparoscopy, 35 the right colon was not seen to be abnormally mobile during the primary operation.…”

Il correspond à la vrille du mésentère visible en position médiane, en avant de l'aorte et au niveau de l'artère mésentérique supérieure, autour de laquelle viennent « s'enrouler » la veine mésentérique supérieure et le jéjunum proximal.…”
