Description
Meddy Dalex and co-authors report two cases from 2024 in which a hole in the duodenum was treated from inside the gut. A hole in this first part of the small bowel is a grave problem, and death rates in past reports run from eight to 25 percent.
In each case the team used an ultrasound-guided scope to make a new link from the stomach to the small bowel, using a metal stent. They also closed off the passage into the damaged part with a clip. The first patient, a 74-year-old man, left the hospital after two weeks. The cases show a less drastic option than open surgery.
