Abstract
Duplication of the entire small intestine resulting in gastrointestinal hemorrhage was managed by excision of the ulcerogenic lesion, ileo-ileostomy, and diversion of the gastric-lined intestinal duplication into the stomach. A 25 yr followup study reveals no evidence of recurrent bleeding or malabsorption secondary to bind-loop syndrome. This operative procedure is worthy of consideration in patients with this congenital anomaly.
