To a short exact sequence of triangulated categories with duality, we associate a long exact sequence of Witt groups. For this, we introduce {\it higher Witt groups} in a very algebraic and pretty explicit way. Since those Witt groups are 4-periodic, this long exact sequence reduces to a cyclic 12-term one. Of course, in addition to higher Witt groups, we need to construct connecting homomorphisms, hereafter called {\it residue homomorphisms}.
