What are the types of duodenal atresia surgery?

Duodenal atresia is treated with a surgery called a duodenoduodenostomy. This is done by connecting the portions of the duodenum before and after the obstruction, effectively bypassing the obstruction.

Some types of duodenal blockages may need to be removed surgically. In rare cases, partial duodenal obstructions may be managed endoscopically with dilation. When the obstruction is caused by compression from something outside of the duodenum, the surgical repair will depend on the problem identified by your surgeon.
