ABSTRACT

Pyloric exclusion is a surgical technique used with good results for the treatment of complex duodenal perforations, but a simple gastrojejunostomy produces stasis in the afferent loop and severe biliary reflux. To avoid these problems, some surgical techniques such as the Braun´s omega or the Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with jejunojejunostomy, have been described. We report a case of duodenal perforation caused by the antiphospholipid syndrome that was successfully managed with pyloric exclusion and a Braun omega.
