{Abstract}: Feeding jejunostomy (FJ) is done as a part of significant upper gastrointestinal surgical procedures for patients who cannot tolerate enteral feeds. This procedure is related to different mechanical, infective, and metabolic inconveniences. However, closed-bowel loop obstruction following FJ is rare. We report an unusual complication of closed-bowel loop obstruction in the postoperative period of FJ done for a locally advanced carcinoma of gastroesophageal (GE) junction for enteral access in a 67-year-old male patient. This patient required an emergency laparotomy, to forestall exacerbating of abdomen distension which could have led to gastric ischemia and perforation following obstruction. A redo FJ was done, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Therefore, surgeons should have high clinical suspicion for a rarer complication like a closed-loop obstruction in a patient with upper abdominal pain and distension without vomiting following FJ.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Balamurugan S, Aslam MM, Kadambari D, et al.
