Involvement of the gastroduodenum is extremely rare in Crohn's disease. For obstructing duodenal Crohn's disease, bypass procedures have traditionally been selected. However, more recently, strictureplasty has become an acceptable surgical option. We treated two Crohn's disease patients with short proximal duodenal stenosis, using Finney-type strictureplasty. Their postoperative courses were uneventful and they have remained asymptomatic during follow-up periods of more than 5 years, and 4 months, respectively. Owing to the good clinical results of our two patients, we consider strictureplasty to be indicated for short proximal duodenal stenosis in Crohn's disease.
