A baby girl, born on November 11, 2024, at 36 weeks of gestation and weighing 1.79 kgs, was admitted to the NICU on November 17, 2024, with symptoms of bilious vomiting and decreased urine output. Diagnosed with midgut volvulus and malrotation through advanced diagnostic imaging, the baby underwent Ladd’s procedure on November 20, 2024, under the care of an expert multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Madhu Mohan Reddy, Dr. Ravinder Reddy Parige, Dr. Navitha M, and Dr. Vamshee Reddy.

The surgery involved straightening the duodenum, widening the mesentery, releasing adhesions, performing an appendectomy, and repositioning the intestines.
