Use of pyloric exclusion with a double jejunostomy in the treatment of a serious duodenal lesion in a child.
A 3-year-old male was beaten by his stepfather, resulting in a lesion of the third portion of the duodenum that was treated with an occlusive suture of the pyloric mucosa for pyloric exclusion and a gastric-jejunal anastomosis with a double jejunostomy for alimentation with a good result, no serious complications, and relatively a short hospitalization. This procedure may be an alternative for other similar cases.
