Research Article: Is early CT in cases of elevated postoperative CRP the best option for the diagnosis of colorectal anastomotic leakage?
Abstract:
After colorectal surgery (CRS), the early detection and treatment of anastomotic leakage (AL) is critical. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of early contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) (postoperative day [POD] 2–3) after elective colorectal surgery for the diagnosis of AL for patients with elevated CRP levels at POD 2–3.
