Abstract

The spectrum of diseases of the stomach and duodenum in the pediatric population is broad. Surgical treatment of the pediatric patient requires a thorough understanding and knowledge of developmental biology, in addition to the unique physiologic and pathologic processes. Many congenital anomalies of the stomach and duodenum are identified prenatally or in the neonatal period, while other lesions are acquired and may manifest later in childhood and adolescence.
