Pancreas transplant is one of the known most effective treatments for type 1 diabetes mellitus and is associated with improved survival and quality of life for patients. Most centers use a direct side-to-side anastomosis between the donor's duodenum and jejunum, and we describe a rare complication that affected 2 patients. The 2 patients each received a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant and presented with side-to-side duodenojejunal anastomosis volvulus. We describe the clinical and radiological presentations and then propose an effective management method. Side-to-side duodenojejunal anastomosis volvulus after pancreas transplant is an exceptional complication, and there are special radiological and surgical manage-ment techniques to allow efficient treatment.

Background: Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a small percentage of gastrointestinal neoplasms, around 0.5%, and its treatment is based on resection of the tumor, classically by pancreaticoduodenectomy. In recent years, however, segmental resections of duodenal lesions, that do not involve the second portion or the periampullary region, have gained relevance with good surgical and oncological outcomes as well as the benefit of avoiding surgeries that can result in high morbidity and mortality.

Duodenal stenosis is a condition that can be related to several diseases, being either intrinsic, such as neoplasm and inflammatory stenosis, or extrinsic, such as pancreatic pseudocyst, superior mesenteric artery syndrome, and foreign bodies. Current treatments range from endoscopic approaches, such as endoscopic resection and stent placement, to surgical approaches, including duodenal resection, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and gastrointestinal bypass. Minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery is gaining importance due to its potential to decrease surgical stress, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative pain, while its instruments and 3D-vision facilitate fine dissection and intra-abdominal suturing, all leading to a reduced time to functional recovery and shorter hospital stay.

Infra-ampullary duodenal lesions are rare and surgical management is controversial. The commonly accepted treatment, which allows radical resection, is pancreaticoduodenectomy, but segmental duodenal resection has been considered as alternative. Aim of the study was to describe the effectiveness of minimally invasive resection of the third/fourth portion of the duodenum for both benign and malignant lesions, with pancreas preservation and reconstruction through end-to-side duodenojejunostomy.
