Abstract
Duodenal trauma resulting in perforation is rare and management can be challenging due to injuries in other organs and vascular structures. Primary repair is the preferred option and is technically feasible even in cases with large defects. In more complex injuries with pancreaticobiliary tract involvement, damage control techniques and staged procedures may be required. Triple tube drainage with tube gastrostomy, tube duodenostomy, and feeding jejunostomy can benefit the adequate decompression of the duodenum and protect the primary repair suture line. We report the case of a 35-year-old male patient with perforation in the second part of the duodenum following a gunshot injury, who was managed with primary repair and triple tube drainage.

Abstract
Tube duodenostomy has been described as a useful technique in the management of difficult duodenum arising from a variety of pathologies. In addition, the use of a t-tube for the duodenostomy presents a resourceful option in the event of Malecot or other such catheter unavailability. The aim of our study is to describe the technique and outcomes associated with this approach. During a six-month period in 2020, t-tube duodenostomies were performed in three patients for duodenal stump perforation: the first case involved a patient with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy anatomy; the second involved duodenal stump closure security following Billroth II gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease; and the third involved decompression following primary closure of duodenal perforation. All duodenostomies were performed with a t-tube that was trimmed with the back wall divided and then secured via the Witzel approach. The t-tube duodenostomies were performed during the index operations of all patients. No patient required additional operations. There was no mortality. All patients were closely monitored postoperatively with duodenostomies kept in place for six weeks. One patient developed a small leak after a trial of tube clamping, which was managed with continued tube drainage and antibiotics prior to definitive removal. The mean length of stay was 20.3 days with two patients being discharged to rehab. T-tube duodenostomy is a simple technique that helps avoid the blowout of the vulnerable duodenal stump in situations of biliopancreatic limb pathology, ulcerative disease, or injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on optimal surgical treatment of large duodenal defects arising from perforated ulcers, even though such defects are challenging to repair and inadequate repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic literature review of different surgical techniques used to treat large duodenal perforations, provide a narrative description of these techniques, and propose a framework for approaching this pathology. METHODS PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched for articles published in English between January 1, 1970, and December 1, 2020. Studies describing surgical techniques used to treat giant duodenal ulcer perforation and their outcomes in adult patients were included. No quantitative analysis was planned because of the heterogeneity across studies. RESULTS Out of 960 identified records, 25 studies were eligible for inclusion. Two randomized controlled trials, one case-control trial, three cohort studies, 14 case series, and 5 case reports were included. Eight main surgical approaches are described, ranging from simple damage-control operations, such as the omental plug and triple-tube techniques, all the way to complex resections, such as gastrectomy. CONCLUSION Evidence on surgical treatment of large duodenal defects is of poor quality, with the majority of studies corresponding to Oxford levels 3b-4. Current evidence does not support any single surgical technique as superior in terms of morbidity or mortality, but choice of technique should be guided by several factors including location of the perforation, degree of duodenal tissue loss, hemodynamic stability of the patient, as well as expertise of the operating surgeon. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE SR with more than two negative criteria, Level IV.

Abstract
Endoscopic procedures are the front-runner of the management of bleeding duodenal ulcer. Rarely, surgical intervention is sought for acute bleeding, not amenable to endoscopic procedures. Oversewing of the gastroduodenal artery at ulcer crater by transduodenal approach is the most acceptable and recommended method of treatment. We describe a case of an intraoperative duodenal injury that occurred during an attempt to oversew the gastroduodenal artery after a duodenotomy, leading to an unsatisfactory and meagre duodenal stump. This case will highlight the intraoperative turmoil, postoperative complications and management of a series of anticipated but unfortunate events that have rendered us wiser in terms of surgical management of a bleeding duodenal ulcer.

Abstract
Background: Peptic ulcer perforation is a deadly complication of duodenal ulcers. The literature is still sparse in terms of giant duodenal perforations. There exist a variety of techniques to decompress the duodenum after repair which leave the patient with multiple ostomies that require extensive postoperative care. Case presentation: In this case we present a patient with AIDS who was found to have a large duodenal ulcer perforation. Intraoperatively the fragility of the patient’s duodenum warranted a method of decompression that would keep the integrity of the duodenal tissue. The common method of lateral duodenostomy was not the best option and instead a gastro-jejunal feeding tube was altered into a gastro-duodenal tube to avoid creating another ostomy. Postoperatively she did not show signs of leak, but eventually died from sepsis secondary to fulminant AIDS. Conclusions: We propose this technique as a novel method of decompressing the duodenum. This new method eliminates the need for excessive ostomies and has the possibility to make the postoperative transition simpler.

Abstract
Duodenal ulcer perforations have been known since 1600 AD. It is a common surgical emergency and every surgeon will encounter it. The perforation size of >2 cm has been used as the criteria for defining Giant duodenal ulcers. The management of giant duodenal perforations in hemodynamically unstable patient with comorbid condition is taxing because of high incidence of the postoperative leak and mortality. We have used the simple technique of Triple Tube Ostomy after the primary closure of the defect with encouraging results. It is a retrospective study done at the J. N medical college AMU Aligarh from May 2005 to May 2015. Hemodynamically unstable patients who have presented to the emergency with preoperative diagnoses of giant duodenal ulcer perforation and had undergone triple tube ostomy with primary repair of the perforation were included in the study. There were 34 patients of giant duodenal perforation who presented in shock. All of them underwent triple-tube-ostomy after primary repair of the duodenum. Thirty-two patients recovered with two mortalities (5.8 %). Several definite surgical techniques have been described for the management of giant duodenal ulcer perforation but they are complex, have very high morbidity and mortality rate and require an expert surgeon. A close retrospective scrutiny of the patients suggests that simple triple-tube-ostomy technique which is based on the principle of damage control surgery has good postoperative results Therefore, we recommend it as the procedure of choice in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of duodenal perforation after ERCP ranges from 0.09% to 1.67% and mortality up to 8%. METHODS This systematic review was registered in Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO. Stapfer classification of ERCP-related duodenal perforations was used. RESULTS The systematic search yielded 259 articles. Most frequent post-ERCP perforation was Stapfer type II (58.4%), type I second most frequent perforation (17.8%) followed by Stapfer type III in 13.2% and type IV in 10.6%. Rate of NOM was lowest in Stapfer type I perforations (13%), moderate in type III lesions (58.1%) and high in other types of perforations (84.2% in type II and 84.6% in IV). In patients underwent early surgical treatment (<24 h from ERCP) the most frequent operation was simple duodenal suture with or without omentopexy (93.7%). In patients undergoing late surgical treatment (>24 h from ERCP) interventions performed were more complex. In type I lesions post-operative mortality rate was higher in patients underwent late operation (>24 h). In type I lesions, failure of NOM occurred in 42.8% of patients. In type II failure of NOM occurred in 28.9% of patients and in type III there was failure of NOM in only 11.1%, none in type IV. Postoperative mortality after NOM failure was 75% in type I, 22.5% in type II and none died after surgical treatment for failure of NOM in type III perforations. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review showed that in patients with Stapfer type I lesions, early surgical treatment gives better results, however the opposite seems true in Stapfer III and IV lesions.

Abstract
AIM To prospectively study the outcome of difficult gastroduodenal perforations (GDPs) treated by triple tube drainage (TTD) in order to standardize the procedure.
METHODS Patients presenting to a single surgical unit of a tertiary hospital with difficult GDPs (large, unfavourable local and systemic factors) were treated with TTD (gastrostomy, duodenostomy and feeding jejunostomy). Postoperative parameters were observed like time to return of bowel sounds, time to start enteral feeds, time to start oral feeds, daily output of all drains, time to clamping/removal of all drains, time for skin to heal, complications, hospital stay, and, mortality. Descriptive statistics were used.
RESULTS Between December 2013 and April 2015, 20 patients undergoing TTD for GDP were included, with mean age of 44.6 ± 19.8 years and male:female ratio of 17:3. Mean pre-operative APACHE II scores were 10.85 ± 3.55; most GDPs were prepyloric (9/20; 45%) or proximal duodenal (8/20; 40%) and mean size was 1.83 ± 0.59 cm (largest 2.5 cm). Median times of resumption of enteral feeding, removal of gastrostomy, removal of duodenostomy, removal of feeding jejunostomy and oral feeding were 4 d (4-5 IQR), 13 (12-16.5 IQR), 16 (16.25-22.25 IQR), 18 (16.5-24 IQR) and 12 d (10.75-18.5 IQR) respectively. Median hospital stay was 22 d (19-26 IQR) while mortality was 4/20 (20%).
CONCLUSION TTD for difficult GDP is feasible, easy in the emergency, and patients recover in two-three weeks. It obviates the need for technically demanding and riskier procedures.
