Laparoscopic jejuno-jejunostomy for afferent loop stasis following truncal vagotomy with posterior gastro-jejunostomy for pyloric stenosis.
A 47-year-old man presented with epigastric pain relieved by bilious vomiting since one month. He had undergone truncal vagotomy with posterior gastrojejunostomy for benign gastric outlet obstruction 2 years ago. Endoscopy showed distension and stasis in the afferent loop, bile gastritis and esophagitis. Laparoscopic Braun jejunojejunostomy relieved his symptoms.
