Surgery has been the standard treatment for perforated duodenal ulcers, with mostly good results. However, the resolution of postoperative leakage after primary repair of perforated duodenal ulcer remains challenging. There are several choices for re-operation required in persistent leakage from perforated duodenal ulcers. However, many of these choices are complicated surgical procedures requiring prolonged general anesthesia that may increase the chances of morbidity and mortality. Several recent reports have demonstrated postoperative leakage after primary repair of a perforated duodenal ulcer treated with endoscopic insertion using a covered self-expandable metallic stent, with good clinical results. We report a case with postoperative leakage after primary repair of a perforated duodenal ulcer treated using a covered self-expandable metallic stent.

Cholelithiasis, duodenal ulcer, duodenal perforation and tumor invasion may lead to choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF). CDF often has no specific symptoms and may be incidentally detected in an upper gastrointestinal radiographic study or endoscopy; but in some cases, it may be accompanied by recurrent cholangitis and liver abscess. In this paper, a case of recurrent liver abscess caused by CDF is reported. A 62-year-old female was admitted to the authors' hospital because of right upper quadrant pain and fever. The abdominal computed tomography showed a liver abscess in the right lobe. A duodenal fistulous orifice was detected with endoscopy, and a contrast was injected through the duodenal orifice using a catheter under fluoroscopy. The injection of the contrast revealed a fistulous track between the duodenal bulb and the common hepatic duct. In fistulas complicated by recurrent liver abscess, surgery or medical management may be needed. The CDF in this case study was treated via endoscopic clipping.

Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus (MV) is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Most events of MV occur in the neonatal period with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, feeding intolerance, and bloody stools. Neonatal gastric perforation (GP) is a rare and life-threatening condition associated with high mortality. It occurs either in an idiopathic form or in association with gastrointestinal anomalies such as duodenal atresia and MV. The pathogenesis of both MV and GP is related to ischemic change and inflammatory response. MV and GP can lead to morbidities such as sepsis, intestinal ischemia, and organ failure, but not neurologic problems. We herein report the case of a term infant at 5 days after birth, with MV accompanied by GP, who developed periventricular leukomalacia.

A yellow-billed spoonbill kept at the zoo was found dead. As a result of the necropsy, the stomach (gizzard and proventriculus) and duodenum were full of undigested fish bones, and the undigested sharp fish bones were lodged in the gastric mucosa and clumped together, blocking the lumen. Thereafter, the intestinal wall was perforated and peritonitis occurred causing death. The cause of the fish spines becoming lodged in the gastrointestinal tract is unknown. It can only be assumed that there was a lack of a mechanism for the yellow-billed spoonbill in a zoo to go around and pick up grit or small stones and assist in mechanical crushing in the gizzard.

Brunneroma, also known as Brunner's gland adenoma or harmatoma, is a very rare benign tumor of the duodenum, which is usually asymptomatic, and is discovered incidentally during endoscopic exam. These lesions are most commonly located in the duodenal bulb and clinical manifestations are variable. We report on a case of a large Brunner's gland adenoma in a 54-year-old man, which was successfully removed by endoscopic resection without complications, such as bleeding or perforation. Microscopically, it was composed entirely of variable Brunner's gland.

A total of 30 cases of the peptic ulcer in children, who underwent operations from January 1981 to December 1995 because of complications at Department of the Surgery, Chonbuk National University Medical School, is reviewed. Twenty-three were males (76.7%), 7 females (23.3%) and male was preponderant at 3.3:1. There were 25 cases (83.3%) age 10 to 15 years, 3(10.0%) between 2 and 9 years, and 2 (6.7%) below 2. The ulcer was located at duodenum in 27(90.0%), and at stomach in 3 cases (10.0%). Complications were perforation in 19 cases (63.3%), pyloric obstruction in 9 (30.0%) and bleeding in 2 (6.7%). For perforation, truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty was done in 11 cases, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy in 6, and simple closure in 2 cases. For obstruction, truncal vagotomy with hemigastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy was done in 5, and truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in 3 cases. For bleeding lesions, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty was performed in 2 cases. Ten postoperative complications developed in 9 patients: adhesive ileus in 5, recurrence in 2, pneumonia 2, and wound seroma 1 case. One patient developed a primary duodenal perforation and another a recurrent obstruction. Both of patients had symptoms for more than 3 years and were treated with truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty for the primary operations. Hospital stay was 11.5 days for the patient with perforated ulcer, 11.0 days for the patient with pyloric obstruction, and 14.5 days for the child with bleeding. Average hospital period was 11.6 days. To reduce recurrences after operation, extensive procedure such as distal gastrectomy with vagotomy at the first operation should be considered in case with severe complication or with patients who have been symptomatic for long periods.

들장관증후군은 위장 재건술을 동반한 위절제술 후 발생하는 드문 합병증이다. 이 질환은 담관염, 췌장염, 복막염을 동반한 십이지장 천공과 같은 치명적인 상태에 이를 수 있어서, 즉각적인 감압 치료가 필요하다. 담관 확장이 없는 들장관증후군 환자를 위한 대체 감압 치료법으로 경담낭 십이지장 배액술을 시행한 두 건의 증례를 보고하고자 한다. Billroth II 문합술과 위원위절제술을 시행한 2명의 환자가 상복부 통증과 구토를 주소로 응급실에 내원하였다. 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 급성 췌장염을 동반한 들장관증후군으로 진단되었다. 담관 확장이 없어 담도를 통한 접근이 어려워, 경담낭 접근을 통해 담낭관을 통과한 후 들장관을 감압하기 위한 십이지장 배액 카테터를 설치하였다. 환자들은 배액술 시행 후 각각 2주와 1개월째에 추가적인 수술적 치료 없이 퇴원하였다.

A 7-year-old female maltese dog with anorexia and vomiting for a week, and left axillary and perineal mass was admitted to Gyeongsang National University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. CBC revealed mild leukocytosis and severe anemia. Abdominal radiography revealed multiple gas opacities in upper abdomen. On ultrasonography, large amount of echogenic free abdominal fluid were detected. In addition, There are enhanced peritoneal strip sign (EPSS) indicating peumoperitoneum in the upper abdomen. Fine needle aspiration of the mass was performed and the result was mast cell tumor. Duodenal perforation caused by mast cell tumor was identified on laparotomy.
