  • Title: Simultaneous correction of duodenal atresia due to annular pancreas and malrotation by laparoscopy.
    Author: Glüer S, Petersen C, Ure BM.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 2002 Dec; 12(6):423-5. PubMed ID: 12548498.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 3450 g newborn girl with prenatally diagnosed duodenal obstruction. At operation, duodenal atresia due to annular pancreas and intestinal, partially volvulated malrotation became apparent. Surgical correction was completely laparoscopic with 3-mm instruments. The operation consisted of reduction of the volvulated bowel loops, division of obstructing bands, and creation of a side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy. The technique, described in detail, proved to be feasible. No postoperative complication occurred and the girl is doing well 4 months postoperatively.
