The introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has revolutionized the surgical management of biliary diseases. As the application of this procedure becomes more popular, a variety of associated complications have emerged. We present a rare case of a patient who developed an intestinal volvulus 3 days following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The precipitating factors of this complication and review of literature are discussed.
