@entity1 @entity154 @entity5953 @entity9727 @entity1146 @entity850
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: @entity9727 , such as that resulting from @entity1146 or web, routinely has been corrected by laparotomy and duodenoduodenostomy. Until recently, no one has reported on the use of minimally invasive techniques to correct this @entity154 . Over the last 6 months we have approached 4 @entity1 , 3 with @entity1146 and one with a web, laparoscopically. Three were newborns, and one was 8 months old. METHODS: All procedures were performed with 3-mm instruments and scopes. RESULTS: Operating time in all cases was less then 90 minutes. Visualization was excellent, and there were no intraoperative complications. Feedings were started on postoperative day 5 in @entity5953 neonates and day 3 in the @entity1 . All 4 were on full feedings after 3 days. Follow-up upper gastrointestinal tests show no evidence of @entity850 . CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy provides an excellent way to evaluate and treat @entity9727 .
