Summary Superficial duodenal epithelial tumors were previously considered rare. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) has been developed to achieve successful endoscopic treatment. Patients who have undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may have severe abdominal adhesions, and immunosuppressive agents (IAs) may affect the degree of postoperative abdominal adhesions and wound healing, but their effects remain unclear. Herein, we present the first case of D-LECS for duodenal adenoma after LDLT. A 66-year-old man underwent D-LECS for a non-ampullary duodenal high-grade adenoma after LDLT with an IA. The patient's condition was uneventful 36 months after the surgery. In gastrointestinal surgery, IAs may affect the resected duodenal repair process. For duodenal neoplasms in high-risk patients, D-LECS may be better than endoscopic submucosal dissection alone. D-LECS after LDLT is a feasible and less invasive procedure.
