J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2015 Jul-Sep;20(3):146-7. doi: 10.4103/0971-9261.159031.

Abstract

Colonic duplications are rare congenital anomalies. Treatment of choice is complete resection that in case of a long tubular duplication requires total or subtotal colectomy. A simple surgical technique for treatment of complete colonic duplication is described, which avoids the complications of extensive colonic resection.

Keywords: Colonic duplication; congenital anomalies; constipation; limited surgery.
