Abstract
Duodenal motility after tapering duodenoplasty was investogated by radiography and video-fluoroscopy. Two patients underwent tapering duodenoplasty, one at the time of duodenojejunostomy for double high jejunal atresias and another 6.5 months after the restoration of intestinal continuity for multiple intestinal atresias. Both patients showed a satisfactory postoperative course and were doing well. Radiographic and video-fluoroscopic studies demonstrated that the tapered portion of the duodenum had restored active peristalsis and excellent passage of contrast material, while the proximal, non-tapered portion remained dilated and dismotile soon after the operation. Tapering duodenoplasty proved to be a valuable procedure for restoring duodenal motility.
