Afferent Loop Obstruction After Distal Gastrectomy with Roux‐en‐Y Reconstruction

Abstract

Afferent loop obstruction develops rarely after distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction through an open approach. This rare but fatal complication should be considered when a patient complains of abdominal pain and/or vomiting after distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
