title: [Duodenal atresia. Experiences with 145 patients].
abstract: 145 children with duodenal atresia were operated on between 1971 and 1988. 57 were premature, 48 newborn, 11 toddlers and 5 older children. Once the immediate perioperative phase is overcome, the postoperative prognosis is determined only by the severity of associated anomalies. Most atresias were found to be located prepapillary. Trisomy 21, malrotations and vitium cordis were the most frequent associated anomalies. Relaparotomies were required in 21%, mostly because of adhesions.
