Abstract
Surgical treatment for afferent loop syndrome (ALS) in patients with recurrent gastric cancer is usually not feasible because of the recurrent tumor mass at the anastomosis site and/or extensive carcinomatosis resulting in bowel loop fixation. Furthermore, ALS usually makes oral intake impossible, resulting in a rapid deterioration in general condition. In this situation, gastroscopic stenting at the anastomotic site and/or percutaneous external drainage may be a more feasible alternative for palliation. We herein report a recurrent gastric cancer whose ALS was successfully treated with internal and external drainage procedures.
