Multiple duplications of the small intestine
Journal of Pediatric Surgery
|November 1, 1986
Abstract:
A case of coexistent cystic and tubular duplications of the small intestine is presented. Staged resection resulted in maximal preservation of small intestinal length. Intraoperative radionuclide scanning is suggested as a technique to assure complete removal of ectopic gastric mucosa. The literature regarding multiple duplications is reviewed and the management of duplications involving long segments of the small intestine is discussed.
