Abstract
A 2.7-kg, 2-day-old girl was diagnosed to have a colonic ectasia and malrotation.
She underwent laparoscopic resection of the ectatic segment and Ladd procedure. To
our knowledge, such a laparoscopic resection of a colonic ectasia in a neonate has
not been reported previously in the English literature. The clinical features, management,
and surgical technique will be discussed in this report.
