Core Tip	Following a penetrating abdominal injury, it is very important for surgeons to find all associated lesions. Insufficient abdominal exploration can result in a missed injury, occasionally leading to the need for reoperation and possibly a fatal outcome. We successfully treated a rare case of perforation and bleeding in the third portion of the duodenum, which was not found by upper-abdominal exploration during the initial surgery. If a missed hollow viscus injury, particularly in the duodenum, remains despite such efforts, an endoscopic approach may be helpful in some cases.
