[Jejunum interposition as replacement of the pars descendens duodeni in extensive tubulovillous adenoma].
Reconstruction after partial duodenectomy with resection of the ampulla of Vater is often troublesome. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient with endoscopically non-resectable tubulo-villous adenoma of the descending duodenum including the ampulla of Vater in which subsequent biopsies revealed dysplastic areas. A partial resection of the descending duodenum including the ampulla of Vater was performed. Reconstruction was achieved by the interposition of a jejunal limb in which the ampulla could be reinserted to the posterior wall. The postoperative course was uneventful; a carcinoma was not found within the specimen. In cases of widespread adenomas of the ampulla of Vater, duodenum-preserving resection by interposition of a jejunal limb with reinsertion of the ampulla into the posterior wall may be used as an alternative to Roux-Y reconstruction and to Whipple's procedure.
