Just 5% to 10% of patients with duodenal diverticula suffer from clinical symptoms, while most of the duodenal diverticula are diagnosed incidentally and are asymptomatic.
Just 5% to 10% of patients with duodenal diverticula suffer from clinical symptoms, while most of the duodenal diverticula are diagnosed incidentally and are asymptomatic.
Furthermore, less than 1% of patients require treatment for various complications such as perforation, hemorrhage, and biliary/pancreatic/gastrointestinal obstruction. Various treatments and operations are considered for the rare complications of diverticulum, based on the symptoms or operative field findings.
Hiatus Hernia - Types, Causes, Symptoms, Complications, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention
Hiatus hernia or hiatal hernia is a condition where the upper part of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through an opening (hiatus) in the diaphragm.

In general, angiography and endoscopy are the most useful modalities for diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal bleeding. However, duodenal diverticular hemorrhage complicated by duodenal obstruction can happen after transcatheter arterial embolization by ischemic damage to the duodenum or fibrotic encasement of the duodenum. Complications of peridiverticular and retroperitoneal fibrosis around the resolving hematoma could happen after successful TAE; therefore, the resolving hematoma should be thoroughly observed. Conservative treatment should be considered before surgery to relieve the duodenal obstruction resulting from duodenal fibrotic encasement after duodenal diverticular hemorrhage. However, if surgery is necessary, gastrointestinal diversion should be done instead of complete resection in cases with severe inflammation or tissue friability.

Reflux Esophagitis- Overview
Reflux esophagitis is a condition causing inflammation of the lining of the esophagus. This happens when there is a upward movement of the acid from the stomach due to weakness of the esophageal sphincter.
