Abnormalities of duodenal motility have been described in patients with duodenal ulcer and in experimental ulcers in rats and it has been postulated that they could be pathogenic in peptic ulcer disease. We have investigated with an isotopic technique whether duodenal bulb clearance or duodenal transit are abnormal in duodenal ulcer. Six patients with inactive and six with active duodenal ulcer...

conclusions for laterally localized and protruded duodenal diverticula, laparoscopic resection is a feasible and safe method. the role of laparoscopy in surgical treatment of complicated diverticula, located in other parts of the duodenum, is unclear because of lack of experience. case presentation in this article, we present a case report of a large duodenal diverticulum, treated with laparosc...

We present a 69-year-old woman with a duodenal obstruction after successful selective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for a duodenal diverticular hemorrhage. Two weeks after TAE, the patient showed abrupt symptoms of duodenal obstruction. Resolving hematomas after successful selective transcatheter arterial embolization should be thoroughly observed because they might result in duoden...

AIM To investigate the correlation among the presence and degree of gastric metaplasia of duodenal regenerating mucosa, the deformity of bulb and the recurrence of duodenal ulcer. METHODS A total of 99 patients with duodenal ulcer were treated with H(2)-antagonist with or without antimicrobial therapy. All patients received follow-up endoscopic examinations 6 wk after treatment. When the ulce...

Duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare clinical entity and often unnoticed leading to delay in management thereby increasing morbidity mortality. We reported case of duodenal perforation with near complete transaction duodenum at junction D2 D3 grade 1 splenic laceration highlight the challenges decision-making dilemmas associated its management.

To study the appearance and distribution of the normal mucosa at the gastroduodenal junction in man, 14 specimens of normal mucosa, eight obtained during pylorplasty, and "relatively" normal specimens from the distal stomach and whole duodenum were examined microscopically. Three histologically distinct types of normal duodenal mucosa were found at this junction. These were termed antral type d...
