Minimally invasive duodenojejunostomy for superior mesenteric artery syndrome: a case series and review of the literature
2015
Background
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a disorder characterized by vascular compression of the duodenum leading to mechanical obstruction. Surgical intervention is indicated in patients who fail standard non-operative management, in which duodenojejunostomy is favored based on previous small series. Given the rarity of the condition, knowledge of the optimal indications for surgery, risk of postoperative complications, and prognosis of SMAS after minimally invasive duodenojejunostomy is limited.
