Abstract
Introduction
Duodenal duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with nonspecific symptoms, and preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. Complete resection is recommended, but lesions adjacent to the bile or pancreatic duct are challenging to treat safely in pediatric patients. We report a pediatric case of duodenal duplication successfully managed by laparoscopic mucosal resection with selective full-thickness dissection under intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance.
