Ladd's bands
The procedure involves counterclockwise detorsion of the bowel , surgical division of Ladd's bands , widening of the small intestine's mesentery , performing an appendectomy , and reorientation of the small bowel on the right and the cecum and colon on the left ( the appendectomy is performed so as not to be confused by atypical presentation of appendicitis at a later date ) .
