title: Duplication of the alimentary tract.
abstract: Duplications of the intestinal tract as can be seen from the embryologic and anatomic descriptions are varied and frequently complex. The great variety of presentation and pathology encountered requires almost individual treatment for each case. Certainly total surgical excision, or at the very least, good complete internal drainage should be carried out in these cases. Correct therapy should afford relief of the patients's symptoms and prevent future complications.
