Abstract
Abstract
Background
Duplication of the alimentary tract can occur in any of its parts. For duodenal duplication, complete resection is particularly difficult when the ampulla of Vater is on the duplicated lumen and a deliberate management is necessary.
Case presentation
A 0-day female baby was referred to our department due to abdominal distention. The X-ray examination showed dextrocardia and opacity of the liver on the left side and abdominal ultrasonogram revealed remarkable intestinal dilatation. Therefore, urgent laparotomy was performed on the day of birth. Complete situs inversus of the abdominal organs was revealed, and the origin of the jejunum was on the left side and was accompanied by tubular intestinal duplication. The origin of the duplicated intestine was at the pancreatic head’s dorsal area. There were two points of type Шa atresia on the ileum. Therefore, we spared the duplicated intestine with a length of 3 cm to secure the passage of the biliary and pancreatic juices by a functional-side-to-side anastomosis with a 45-mm Endo-GIA™ camel load (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The ileum was transected at the distal side of the atresia point, and end-to-end jejunoileostomy was performed. Postoperative gastrointestinal series revealed remnants of the duplicated alimentary tract on the dorsal area of the stomach.
Conclusions
Identifying the position of the ampulla of Vater is crucial in the surgery of alimentary tract duplication with duodenal involvement. However, in the present case, it was difficult to identify whether the ampulla of Vater was on the true or duplicated lumen, and we had to spare the duplicated duodenum. Stapler anastomosis could be performed safely even in neonatal cases.
