Abstract

A fragile 72-year-old female with previous coronary artery disease sustained blunt abdominal trauma in a motor vehicle crash. A ruptured duodenum was identified by computed tomography scanning. Exploratory laparotomy revealed that the duodenal rupture was caused by perforation of a diverticulum in the second portion of the duodenum. The surgical management of the injury to the duodenum is described in detail.
