To facilitate the percutaneous drainage of an afferent-loop small-intestine obstruction, we used sonography to detect visceral adhesions and select a safe puncture route. The portion of the small intestine that was fixed to the anterior abdominal wall was sonographically identified by using a high-frequency transducer to locate the area of restricted visceral sliding. The needle was then inserted into the intestine. In 3 cases, we have found that this technique improves the confidence of the physicians who perform the percutaneous drainage and may help to minimize the risks associated with the percutaneous drainage.

A case of jaundice due to an obstruction of the afferent loop following a pancreatoduodenectomy is presented. The dilated loop of the jejunum was drained percutaneously with a 12-F gastrostomy tube. Localized peritonitis around the puncture site was managed conservatively and the obstructive jaundice improved. The treatment strategy for this type of jaundice is discussed.
