Abstract
Postoperative fistula involving upper gastrointestinal tract surgery is a rare but troublesome occurrence. Reoperation on these patients is challenging and needs to be individualised. Various methods are described including primary closure, bypass procedures, serosal patch repair and Roux-en-Y repair. We present a new technique of repair using afferent loop that provided a vascularized bowel segment, which used in an anatomical fashion for closure of fistula.
