We performed an incisionless resection of the duodenal web via the existing gastrostomy site. Initially the plan was to use the endoscope for visualization and the gastrostomy site for instrumentation; however, the endoscope visualization was inadequate. The gastrostomy site was dilated and an extra small wound protector was placed with a sterile glove over it allowing insufflation and access via the fingers for the laparoscope and 3mm instruments. A 70-degree laparoscope was used for visualization. The opening of the web was cannulated using a Fogarthy catheter prolapsing the web towards the stomach. A 3mm hook cautery and then the LigaSure were used to incise and excise the anteriolateral aspect of the duodenal web. Intraoperative CXR ruled out free air. A 1cm 14-French Mickey button was placed at the completion of the procedure. The length of the operation was 100 minutes.
