Abstract
Efferent loop obstruction is a very rare postgastrectomy obstruction that can occur following Billroth-II or Roux en- Y reconstruction. The most common loop obstruction after gastric surgery is afferent loop obstruction; however, efferent loop obstruction has been reported in rare cases. Here, we report a case of efferent loop obstruction that occurred after gasrtojejunostomy for Gastric outlet obstruction underwent 30 years back. The efferent loop obstruction was successfully resolved by laparotomy.
