Abstract:

Surgical treatment for duodenal stenosis caused by Crohn's disease is only indicated in symptomatic duodenal obstruction when conservative treatment has failed. Previously described operative procedures include strictureplasty for short stenoses and bypass or resectional procedures, if duodenal stenosis is extensive. In this case of an extensive duodenal Crohn's stenosis, we performed a strictureplasty of the duodenum with a pedunculated jejunal patch. Thus, duodenal passage could be well preserved, and the patient has remained asymptomatic during a follow-up of more than 9 months.
