The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness of percutaneous tube enterostomy in afferent loop syndrome presenting as jaundice. Tube enterostomy was successfully performed in seven patients without procedural complications. The serum bilirubin level normalized in five patients but remained elevated in the other two, presumably related to more proximal bile duct obstruction. Percutaneous tube enterostomy is an effective palliative treatment in afferent loop syndrome presenting as an obstructing jaundice. However, coexisting biliary obstruction might be problematic for relieving jaundice with tube enterostomy.
