A case of duodenocolic fistula secondary to a perforating diverticulum of the third portion of the duodenum was successfully managed by primary repair with use of a serosal patch over a difficult duodenal closure. The advantages of the serosal patch technic are discussed in light of other technics used for dealing with duodenal defects and fistulas.
