[Duplications of the gastrointestinal tract]

The pathology and clinical presentation of intestinal duplications are discussed. 8 assorted cases are presented. Spherical lesions of the small intestine were resected together with the stenosed segment of bowel while the cysts of the ileo-caecal region were dissected out. The rare tubular duplication of the rectum was managed with an anastomosis at the most distal end of the duplication to the original bowel.
