Duodeno-duodenostomy for Duodenal Atresia
The patient is a two-day-old boy with duodenal atresia.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
A transverse right abdominal incision allows access to the duodenum and small intestine.

Malrotation is present in this case.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position1:00 ↗
Duodenal atresia type III is present in this case.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position1:00 ↗
The proximal duodenal opening is made at the most dependent part.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position2:00 ↗
The distal limb is opened on the anterolateral surface to avoid injury to the opening of the common bile and pancreatic ducts.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position2:30 ↗
Bile coming out on opening of the distal limb confirms patency to that point.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position2:45 ↗
The diamond-shaped technique creates two openings with perpendicular axes.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position2:55 ↗
Distal patency is checked by injecting saline and observing its filling to the whole bowel.

The anastomosis technique uses two opposing borders of the diamonds to make the posterior wall and the far-facing borders to make the anterior wall.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position3:25 ↗
The posterior wall is sutured from the inside with full-thickness sutures.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position3:50 ↗
The anterior wall is sutured from the outside.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position4:00 ↗
5-0 absorbable sutures are used for the anastomosis.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position4:10 ↗
Suturing starts with the middle of the posterior wall and advances toward the angles with interrupted sutures.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position4:10 ↗
The angle suture is placed from the outside in an extramucosal fashion.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position4:35 ↗
The anterior wall sutures are placed in an extramucosal fashion starting from the angles and working towards the middle.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position5:10 ↗
The proximal dilated pouch is brought downwards to meet the distal limb during anterior wall closure.

Widening of the root of the mesentery is performed after completing the anastomosis.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position5:50 ↗
The superior mesenteric vessels should be visualized during mesenteric root widening.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position6:05 ↗
The peritoneal covering is carefully dissected to allow adequate widening of the mesenteric root.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position6:15 ↗
Appendectomy is performed as part of the procedure.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position6:30 ↗
The bowel is returned to the abdomen with the colon in the left side and the duodenojejunal junction in a straight direction.

Technique: Laparoscopic Repair of Duodenal Atresia, Ladd's Procedure, and...
The patient is a 1 day old infant who had a prenatal diagnosis of duodenal atresia
clinical0:00 ↗
Port placements consist of a 4 millimeter scope in the umbilicus, a 3 millimeter port in the left mid quadrant, and a 3 millimeter stab wound in the right mid quadrant, triangulated towards the right upper quadrant
clinical0:30 ↗
The 3 millimeter sealer is an excellent dissecting device and can be used in safe energy in close approximation to both the gallbladder and the small bowel
opinion1:00 ↗
A transabdominal stitch using a 30 Prolene on an RB1 needle is placed through the anterior abdominal wall in the right upper quadrant to retract the gallbladder superiorly
clinical2:00 ↗
The child is malrotated with a complete duodenal atresia
clinical2:30 ↗
The bowel is run from proximal to distally to ensure that there are no further Ladd's bands and to completely de-rotate the bowel
clinical3:00 ↗
A Meckel's diverticulum is found in the distal ileum during the procedure
clinical3:30 ↗
All of the small bowel is placed on the patient's right and the large bowel on the patient's left
