Surgery is the best treatment approach for afferent loop syndrome. For patients with acute obstruction, an emergency surgery might be done to prevent loop rupture. The kind of surgery that may be done will vary on what’s causing the blockage.
In some patients, the anastomosis may have to be done again and corrected. If the afferent loop is narrowed and scarred, the best option is to remove it.
Before taking the gastrectomy surgery, know all the complications first and ask the physician to explain everything such as the risks and benefits of the surgery before the procedure.
