Abstract Introduction: Isomerism is a rare congenital condition in which one side of the body is a mirror image of the opposite side of the body. Abdominal manifestations include abnormal stomach positioning with possible malrotation of the intestines.1 If malrotation occurs, a laparoscopic Ladd procedure is performed. Materials and Methods: This video shows a laparoscopic Ladd procedure done in a 9-month-old male with right-sided isomerism and asymptomatic intestinal malrotation. Access to the right lower quadrant was achieved by a modified Hasson technique with a Step™ trocar (Auto-Suture) placed through a 5 mm incision in the umbilicus. Pneumoperitoneum was established using 5 L/minute of carbon dioxide under 12 mm Hg of pressure. A 30° telescope camera was inserted into the peritoneal cavity for proper observation. Next, two 3 mm incisions were made in the lower right and left abdominal quadrants. A 3 mm port was placed on the right and a 5 mm port was placed on the left with Step trocars (Auto-Suture...
