Radiological appearances of colonic ring staple anastomoses

BD Daly and BM Crowley
Department of Radiology, St James's University Hospital, Leeds.

The radiographic appearances of colonic staple ring anastomoses are presented. Staple ring disruption on plain abdominal radiographs in the early post-operative period suggests dehiscence of the bowel anastomosis and is an indication for urgent water-soluble contrast medium enema to confirm the diagnosis. Rectal stenosis can develop as a late complication of staple anastomosis and may be detected on barium enema.
