Laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy for superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (Wilkie's syndrome) causes acute or chronic compression of the third part of the duodenum. Initially conservative treatment is tried, but on failure of treatment, duodenojejunostomy is the procedure of choice, usually done by open surgery. We present a case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome in which the duodenojejunostomy was done laparoscopically.
