title: Selective intubation of the afferent loop.
abstract: A selective intubation method for examination of the afferent loop is described and brief review of complications involving the afferent loop is outlined. The value of the intubation method in patient management is illustrated by three case reports. We find this a helpful method for studying selected patients with clinical problems related to the afferent loop.
