Celiac artery compression syndrome — also known as Dunbar syndrome — is associated with postprandial abdominal pain. A defined, evidence-based surgical protocol addresses this condition.
The established first-line treatment is surgical, involving release of the median arcuate ligament (MALR). The full protocol specifies which operative technique applies and the criteria governing approach selection.
The primary objective is resolution of postprandial abdominal pain and complete symptom relief. Ligament release achieves near-complete symptom relief in the great majority of patients.
