Introduction:
Laparoscopic resection of duodenal carcinoid in an obese patient.
Method:
The duodenum was kocherized laparoscopically. The carcinoid was excised. The duodenal defect was closed with two figure-of-eight 2-0 vicryl sutures. A Heineke Mikulicz pyloroplasty and cholecystectomy was performed.
Result:
The gastrograffin swallow did not show a leak. He recovered well at 3-week follow-up. At 6-months, abdominal MRI was normal. Final pathology showed 0.6 cm well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor involving duodenal submucosa without lymphovascular or perineural invasion.
Conclusion:
Duodenal carcinoid resection through an intraluminal approach requiring pyloroplasty with excellent recovery.
