Overview
In 1900, J. Tandler reported duodenal stenosis due to failure of recanalization of duodenum during fetal development in pregnancy. In 1961, Thomas Santulli and William Blanc described the figure 8 formation of small bowel, which is described as apple-peel intestinal atresia. In 1936, William Ladd developed a surgical procedure to correct the duodenal malrotation.
