Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for duodenal atresia. A nasogastric or orogastric tube should be inserted to decompress the abdomen. A laparotomy or laparoscopy can be performed to correct duodenal atresia. Surgical procedures include duodenoduodenostomy, and duodenojejunostomy.

Indications

Surgery is the first-line treatment option for patients with duodenal atresia. [1]

  • Ultrasound shows duodenal obstruction
  • Abdominal x-ray shows air fluid levels

Surgery

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for duodenal atresia.[1][2]

  • Laparotomy or laparoscopy can be performed.
  • A nasogastric or orogastric tube should be inserted to decompress the abdomen.

Surgical procedures include:

  • Side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy
    • Bypass procedure
    • Diamond-shaped anastomosis is constructed between the proximal transverse to the distal longitudinal anastomosis
  • End-to-side duodenoduodenostomy
    • Bypass procedure
    • Diamond-shaped anastomosis is constructed between the proximal transverse to the distal longitudinal anastomosis
  • Duodenojejunostomy

Contraindications

There are no contraindications to surgical repair of duodenal atresia.
