    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Abdominal Pain Management

    Background:

    • Mobile cecum syndrome is characterized by chronic right lower quadrant pain.
    • Symptoms include abdominal distention and relief upon flatus passage or bowel movement.

    Observation:

    • Five patients with mobile cecum syndrome presented with characteristic pain and distention.
    • Preoperative barium enemas revealed abnormal cecal mobility in three patients.
    • Surgical exploration confirmed mobile cecum and ascending colon in all cases.

    Findings:

    • Cecopexy, utilizing a lateral peritoneal flap, effectively fixed the mobile cecum and ascending colon.
    • All five patients experienced complete relief from abdominal pain post-surgery.
    • The described cecopexy technique is effective in preventing cecal volvulus.
