Core Tip
Core tip: This report describes a case with bleeding hemangiomas in the third portion of the duodenum and successful treatment using a laparoscopic approach. After performing a laparoscopic Kocher maneuver was performed, the location of the duodenal hemangioma was confirmed by endoscopic and laparoscopic observation. The lesion was excised using ultrasonic coagulating shears and the defect in the duodenal wall was sutured laparoscopically. This minimally invasive technique may be a valid alternative to open surgery for the treatment of benign duodenal tumors in the third portion.
