Early Detection of Postoperative Anastomotic Leak by CT

Postoperative anastomotic leak is rare but life threatening complication after gastric cancer surgery. Early diagnosis is key to minimize other hazards which are caused by anastomotic leak. Investigators introduced a novel method to detect early diagnosis of anastomotic leak after gastric cancer surgery.

About this study

Postoperative anastomotic leak is rare but life threatening complication after gastric cancer surgery. Early diagnosis is key to minimize other hazards which are caused by anastomotic leak. Investigators introduced a novel method to detect early diagnosis of anastomotic leak after gastric cancer surgery. Oral contrast agent is used for CT. Investigators carefully collected all the data prospectively and standard definition of anastomotic leak was applied.
