%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Nowadays the majority of appendectomies are undertaken laparoscopically. The associated per and postoperative complications are well established and known. However, some rare postoperative complications continue to be reported such as small bowel volvulus.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We report the case of 44-year-old women who developed a small bowel obstruction from acute small bowel volvulus due to early postoperative flanges five days after a laparoscopic appendectomy.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Laparoscopy is associated with less adherences and morbidity however we must be careful in post operative course. Mechanical obstruction can happen even with laparoscopy procedure.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Occlusion earlier after surgery even with laparoscopy procedure must be explored. Volvulus can be incriminated.
