Abstract
The results of the surgical correction of congenital duodenal anomalies in human infants free of severe prematurity, mongolism or other intestinal anomalies were most favorable. Several uncommon defects involving the 2nd part of the duodenum, which required special attention to the anatomic proximity of the ampulla of Vater and the terminal portion of the common bile ducts were encountered. The recognition of this intimate relationship may prevent inadvertent injuries to these structures, further improving the results of operative procedures for these difficult congenital malformations.
