title: Ryle's tube drainage of afferent loop after partial gastrectomy and that of gall bladder after cholecystojejunostomy.
abstract: Ryle's tube drainage of the afferent loop effectively prevented duodenal blow-out or anastomotic leakage in 40 patients undergoing partial gastrectomy for recurrent peptic ulcer. Similarly the same procedure was adopted in 20 cases of cholecystojejunostomy. The tube prevented anastomotic leakage and decompressed the biliary tree by effective bile drainage from the very 1st day thus favouring the prognosis. There was no complication observed directly related to either procedure in the present series.
