pubmed:abstractText
Intestinal rotation abnormalities and complex congenital heart disease associated with heterotaxia coexist. Despite the risk for midgut volvulus, performing a Ladd procedure for asymptomatic malrotation with heterotaxia remains to be controversial because the presumed risk for postoperative complications is thought to exceed the benefits of the operation. The purpose of this study was to review the incidence of complications after a Ladd procedure in asymptomatic patients with heterotaxia to guide recommendations for this patient population.
