Adult w/ incomplete midgut rotation no volvulus.chronic pain & symptoms mild-severe.told "no surgeon will touch it" until an emergency.is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not true: General Surgeon with laparasocopic surgical experience can perform a Ladd procedure, which should take care of this problem. This is fairly routine type surgery for Pediatric Surgeons. Thus Pediatric Surgeon can do this if u can't find surgeon of adults to do it
