Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography to evaluate anastomotic integrity before ileostomy closure in postoperative colorectal cancer patients.

CECT performed after colorectal cancer surgery may be useful to assess anastomotic integrity before ileostomy closure, especially to negatively predict CSAL. In the presence of anastomotic mural defect, perianastomotic air, or ischemic colitis, WSCE may be recommended to exclude CSAL.
