[Complete Obstruction of the Ascending Jejunal Limb due to Adhesion of the Y Loop after Total Gastrectomy].

A 43-year-woman who had undergone total gastrectomy for gastric cancer was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal pain 2 months after the operation. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an ascending jejunum dilation. Gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a complete obstruction in the ascending jejunum. A laparoscopic operation on the 14th hospital day revealed that the complete obstruction of the ascending jejunal limb was due to adhesion of the Y loop after total gastrectomy. She underwent division of the adhesion and was discharged on the 17th postoperative day.
