1. Post-gastrectomy syndromes - Afferent loop syndrome. Afferent loop obstruction develops rarely after distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction through an open approach. This rare but fatal complication should be considered when a patient complains of abdominal pain and/or vomiting after distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. M. Aoki, M. Saka, S. Morita, T. Fukagawa, and H. Katai, “Afferent loop obstruction after distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction,” World Journal of Surgery, vol. 34, no. 10, pp. 2389–2392, 2010.
2. Duodenal Ulcer perforation: A systematic literature review and narrative description of surgical techniques used to treat large duodenal defects. Evidence on surgical treatment of large duodenal defects is of poor quality, with the majority of studies corresponding to Oxford levels 3b-4. Current evidence does not support any single surgical technique as superior in terms of morbidity or mortality, but choice of technique should be guided by several factors including location of the perforation, degree of duodenal tissue loss, hemodynamic stability of the patient, as well as expertise of the operating surgeon. PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched for articles published in English between January 1, 1970, and December 1, 2020.
