title: A simplified technique for gastric and duodenal decompression for duodenal injuries.
abstract: A simplified effective method of the decompression for use after repair of duodenal injuries is described. A Moss esophagogastric decompression tube is inserted as a gastrostomy to provide decompression of stomach and duodenum through a single tube. In addition, the complications associated with long-term nasogastric tube drainage are avoided.
