Résumé
Computed tomography (CT) scan with rectal contrast enema (RCE-CT) could increase the detection rate of anastomotic leaks (AL) in the early postoperative period following colorectal surgery, compared to CT scan without RCE. The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of RCE-CT for the early diagnosis of AL following colorectal surgery.
