Laparoscopic Resection of Y-Shaped Tubular Duplication of the Sigmoid Colon: Report of a Case

Abstract: Tubular-type colonic duplications are rare congenital malformations that are usually diagnosed during childhood. We report the first case of a Y-shaped tubular sigmoid colonic duplication in an adult who was successfully treated by laparoscopic resection.
