Core Tip
Core tip: In duodenal duplication cysts, the endoscopic approach has limitations in extraluminal situations. Endoscopic internal derivation cannot remove the mucosal layer where malignancy mainly occurs, therefore, we propose that laparoscopic surgery can be considered as a treatment option for duodenal duplication cysts, especially in extraluminal locations.
