Our patients history of recurrent epigastric pain and dyspepsia suggests that the lesion was acquired and arose from the antral ulcer, penetrating to the duodenal bulb. [scielo.org.pe]
We present a case of double pylorus in a gentleman with epigastric pain and previous history of peptic ulcer disease. The relationship between Helicobacter pylori and this disease was assessed. [scielo.br]

- Excoriation
When the enteric contents are more fluid than solid, this becomes a difficult problem; the skin excoriation makes it difficult to put a collecting bag or dressings over the fistula, and more leakage leads to an increase in the excoriation. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The extrinsic mass was pulsating, suggesting that it might be an arterial structure; thus, we did not attempt endoscopic treatment of the ulcer. [ekjm.org]
These findings suggested that the magnetic loop had caused the formation of a gastroduodenal fistula. It was decided that early removal of the magnets might result in peritonitis because the immature fistula had not completely formed. [giejournal.org]
- Withdrawn
In one smooth motion, the endoscope was torqued in a clockwise fashion and quickly withdrawn with some force. This separated the proximal gastric magnet from the distal small bowel magnet. [pghn.org]

The bowel's sounds returned on the second postoperative day, and the gastric catheter was then withdrawn, with oral feeding being started. [scielo.br]
Silastic sump placement under the small bowel mesentery and near the duodenum generally permits good drainage; the sumps may be gradually withdrawn later after tube checks and CT scans demonstrate healing. [sites.google.com]
