- Abstract
- INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic duodenal atresia repair is an advanced procedure performed in select pediatric surgical centers. Recently, sub-6 mm endosurgical staplers have been introduced, facilitating and accelerating the creation of intracorporeal intestinal anastomoses. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We performed a laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy in a one-day-old child with duodenal atresia due to annular pancreas using a novel 5.8 mm articulating endostapler with excellent outcome. The technical details are reported. DISCUSSION: Laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy is a technically demanding procedure due to difficulty in hand-sewn anastomosis in a small and restricted space. With this novel 5.8mm articulating endostapler, we were able to perform a quicker and easier anastomosis. CONCLUSION: We report a case of laparoscopic duodenal atresia repair in a neonate using a novel miniature stapling device. This new technique is a safe, quick and easier way to perform laparoscopic duodenal atresia repair. (C) 2016 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of IJS Publishing Group Ltd.
