Afferent Loop Syndrome
A complication of gastrojejunostomy (BILLROTH II PROCEDURE), a reconstructive GASTROENTEROSTOMY. It is caused by acute (complete) or chronic (intermittent) obstruction of the afferent jejunal loop due to HERNIA, intussusception, kinking, VOLVULUS, etc. It is characterized by PAIN and VOMITING of BILE-stained fluid.
Blind Loop Syndrome
A malabsorption syndrome that is associated with a blind loop in the upper SMALL INTESTINE that is characterized by the lack of peristaltic movement, stasis of INTESTINAL CONTENTS, and the overgrowth of BACTERIA. Such bacterial overgrowth interferes with BILE SALTS action, FATTY ACIDS processing, MICROVILLI integrity, and the ABSORPTION of nutrients such as VITAMIN B12 and FOLIC ACID.
Gastroenterostomy
Non-surgical treatment for afferent loop syndrome in recurrent gastric cancer complicated by peritoneal carcinomatosis: percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage followed by 24-hour infusion of high-dose fluorouracil and leucovorin. (1/7)
Afferent loop syndrome (ALS) is a debilitating complication of recurrent gastric cancer. Surgical intervention is usually not feasible in the face of poor general performance, presence of advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis and limited survival of the patients. Non-surgical approaches include internal drainage by stenting at the stenotic or anastomotic site and external drainage via the percutaneous routes. Percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage (PTDD) has been shown to provide effective palliation for ALS, but long-term catheterization is usually inevitable. We hereby present two cases of recurrent gastric cancer whose ALS was successfully treated with PTDD followed by weekly 24-h infusion of high-dose 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (HDFL). PTDD rapidly ameliorated the incapacitating symptoms of ALS, and the effective, low-toxicity chemotherapy subsequently led to tumor regression, restoration of bowel patency and removal of the drainage tube. At present, both patients have remained ALS-free and drainage-free for 16 and 17 months, respectively. Our results indicate that this non-surgical approach with PTDD followed by weekly HDFL could serve as a safe and effective treatment for ALS in recurrent gastric cancer complicated by peritoneal carcinomatosis. (+info)Laparoscopy in afferent loop obstruction presenting as acute pancreatitis. (2/7)
BACKGROUND: We describe an afferent loop obstruction caused by an adhesion band in a case of distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y end-to-side jejunal anastomosis for cancer. METHODS: An initial clinical presentation of acute pancreatitis was ruled out by a computed tomography scan, which revealed intestinal obstruction; it was then confirmed on laparoscopy. Definitive treatment was laparoscopic adhesiolysis. A complete review of the literature concerning afferent loop obstructions is presented. RESULTS: The treatment was successful, with minimal postoperative pain, and the 5-day hospital stay was uncomplicated. The patient remains asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The authors advocate minimally invasive surgery as a complete diagnostic and therapeutic alternative to emergency laparotomy in cases where afferent loop syndrome is suspected, and acknowledge that prompt surgery has a higher rate of success and reduces operative morbidity and mortality. (+info)Malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy: report of two cases. (3/7)
We report two cases of malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Case 1. A 70-year-old woman, who had undergone PD for pancreatic cancer, was referred to our hospital because of fever, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography demonstrated dilatation of a small bowel loop in the right upper quadrant. Laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of local recurrent tumor causing occlusion of the afferent limb, and Roux-en-Y bypass was performed. Case 2. A 72-year-old man, who had undergone PD for cancer of the major papilla, was hospitalized with a high-grade fever and epigastric pain. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography revealed a dilated afferent loop and multiple masses in liver. At laparotomy, widespread carcinomatosis was found to have caused afferent loop obstruction, and surgical bypass was performed. In conclusion, the surgical bypass seems to be an effective palliative treatment for afferent loop syndrome after PD. (+info)Biliary stone causing afferent loop syndrome and pancreatitis. (4/7)
We report the case of an 84-year-old female who had a partial gastrectomy with Billroth-II anastomosis 24 years ago for a benign peptic ulcer who now presented an acute pancreatitis secondary to an afferent loop syndrome. The syndrome was caused by a gallstone that migrated through a cholecystoenteric fistula. This is the first description in the literature of a biliary stone causing afferent loop syndrome.

(+info)Enterolith causing acute afferent loop syndrome after Billroth II gastrectomy: a case report. (6/7)
Enterolith is a rare cause of afferent loop obstruction following Billroth II gastrectomy. We report a case of acute afferent loop syndrome (ALS) due to a huge enterolith, necessitating prompt surgery. The clinical pattern may mimic acute cholangitis and/or pancreatitis. Delayed diagnosis may result in severe complications such as bowel ischemia or perforation. Only 14 reported cases of enterolith causing afferent loop obstruction were found in the English literature.

Radionuclide imaging with I-131 rose bengal and orally administered Tc-99m colloid was successfully used to show the presence of an afferent loop that was not visualized by radiographic, endoscopic, or ultrasonic procedures. (+info)Afferent Loop Syndrome is a rare complication of gastrojejunostomy, where the abnormal flow of digestive enzymes and bile into the afferent limb leads to various gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, pain, and diarrhea.
Afferent loop syndrome is a relatively uncommon complication that can occur after certain gastrointestinal surgeries, particularly those involving the small intestine. The afferent loop refers to a portion of the small intestine that carries digestive secretions from the liver and pancreas towards the main part of the small intestine (the jejunum).
In afferent loop syndrome, this loop becomes obstructed or narrowed, leading to a backup of digestive enzymes and fluids. This can cause various symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The vomit may contain bile, which is a yellowish-green fluid produced by the liver, indicating that the obstruction is located in the afferent loop.
Afferent loop syndrome can be caused by several factors, including post-surgical adhesions (scar tissue), inflammation, or tumors. The diagnosis of afferent loop syndrome typically involves imaging tests such as CT scans or upper gastrointestinal series to visualize the obstruction. Treatment may involve endoscopic procedures to clear the obstruction or surgery to repair or bypass the affected portion of the intestine.
Blind Loop Syndrome, also known as stasis or stagnation syndrome, is a digestive disorder characterized by the abnormal bacterial growth in a segment of the small intestine due to a lack of normal gut motility, which leads to malabsorption of nutrients and vitamins.
Blind Loop Syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when there is an abnormal pocket or pouch in the small intestine that allows digested food to bypass the normal digestive process. This can lead to bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption of nutrients, and various gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, cramps, diarrhea, and weight loss.
The blind loop can be caused by a number of factors, including congenital abnormalities, surgical complications, or structural changes due to diseases such as Crohn's disease or cancer. The diagnosis of Blind Loop Syndrome is often made through radiologic studies, such as a barium X-ray or CT scan, and can be confirmed with a breath test that measures the amount of hydrogen or methane gas produced by intestinal bacteria.
Treatment typically involves antibiotics to eliminate the overgrowth of bacteria, followed by surgery to correct the underlying anatomical abnormality. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve nutrient absorption.
Gastroenterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an anastomosis between the stomach and the jejunum, typically performed to bypass a pyloric obstruction or gastric ulcers.
Gastroenterostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an anastomosis (a connection or junction) between the stomach and the small intestine, usually between the stomach's lesser curvature and the jejunum (the second part of the small intestine). This procedure is often performed to bypass a diseased or obstructed portion of the gastrointestinal tract, such as in the case of gastric ulcers, tumors, or other conditions that prevent normal digestion and absorption.
There are different types of gastroenterostomy procedures, including:
1. Billroth I (or "gastroduodenostomy"): The stomach is connected directly to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
2. Billroth II (or "gastrojejunostomy"): The stomach is connected to the jejunum, bypassing the duodenum.
3. Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy: A more complex procedure in which a portion of the jejunum is separated and reconnected further down the small intestine, creating a Y-shaped configuration. This type of gastroenterostomy is often used in bariatric surgery for weight loss.
The choice of gastroenterostomy technique depends on the specific medical condition being treated and the patient's overall health status.
The Schilling Test is an obsolete diagnostic procedure that measures the ability to absorb vitamin B12 by evaluating urinary excretion of radioactive cobalt after oral administration, which was used to identify pernicious anemia and other malabsorption disorders.
The Schilling test is a medical procedure that was used to diagnose pernicious anemia and malabsorption of vitamin B12. The test measures the body's ability to absorb vitamin B12 from food or supplements.
In the test, the patient is given a small amount of radioactive vitamin B12 to swallow. After a set period of time, a urine sample is collected and measured for the amount of radioactivity present. If the body has properly absorbed the vitamin B12, it will be excreted in the urine.
If the test shows that the patient is not absorbing enough vitamin B12, they may have pernicious anemia or another condition that affects vitamin B12 absorption. The Schilling test has largely been replaced by other diagnostic tests, such as blood tests for anti-intrinsic factor antibodies and parietal cell antibodies.
