The duodenum. Part 4: Surgery.
This is the last part of our efforts to present, if possible, the duodenum in toto as an anatomical and surgical entity. For all practical purposes, Part 4 is a short presentation of the anatomy involved in mobilization and exposure of the duodenum from a surgical standpoint with specific applications. A table with most of the anatomical complications of duodenal surgery is also included.
