| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a simple surgical treatment of duodenal fistulae and iatrogenic duodenal injuries. Medical records of 4 patients submitted to investigation and surgical treatment for either duodenal fistulae or iatrogenic duodenal lesions were retrospectively reviewed. One patient died of multiorgan failure due to uncontrolled sepsis 12 days after operation. Postmortem investigation showed no subsequent leakage. Three of the patients survived with good clinical results. Closure of duodenal fistulae and repair of duodenal injuries by a serosal patching procedure is safe, simple and effective. |
