Laparoscopic surgery has become widely accepted due to its benefits of less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stay. As with any other new technique, there are associated inherent complications. We present a case of cecal volvulus after laparoscopic liver biopsy. This is the first case reported in the literature of cecal volvulus secondary to laparoscopy.
