Congenital duodenal atresia

Congenital duodenal atresia is an embryonic period caused by insufficiency of intestinal cavitation and is a disorder of intestinal development. The sick child may be accompanied by other developmental abnormalities, such as chromosome 21 trisomy (congenital folly, Down syndrome). Calder first described the disease in 1733, but it was not until 1916 that surgery was performed on infants with the disease for the first time. By 1931 there were only 9 survival records. In 1941, the surgical methods adopted by Ladd and Gross experts were confirmed and are still in use today.
