Contrast medium at the site of the anastomosis is crucial in detecting anastomotic leakage with CT imaging after colorectal surgery.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The use of computed tomography (CT) to detect anastomotic leakage (AL) is becoming the standard of care. Accurate detection of AL is crucial. The aim of this study was to define CT criteria that are most predictive for AL. METHODS:From January 2006 to December 2012, all consecutive patients who had undergone CT imaging because of clinical suspicion of anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery were analysed. All CT scans were re-evaluated by two independent abdominal radiologists blinded for clinical outcome. The images were scored with a set of criteria and a conclusion whether or not AL was present was drawn. Each separate criterion was analysed for its value in predicting AL by uni- and multivariable logistic regression RESULTS:Of 668 patients with colorectal surgery, 108 had undergone CT imaging within 16 days postoperatively. According to our standard of reference, 34 (31%) of the patients had AL. Univariable analysis showed that "fluid near anastomosis" (radiologist 1 (rad 1), p < 0.001; radiologist 2 (rad 2), p < 0.001) and "air near anastomosis" (rad 1, p < 0.001; rad 2, p < 0.001), "air intra-abdominally" (rad 1, p = 0.019; rad 2, p = 0.004) and "contrast leakage" (rad 1, p < 0.001; rad 2, p < 0.001) were associated with AL. Contrast leakage was the only independent predictor for AL in multivariable analysis for both radiologists (rad 1, OR 5.43 (95% CI 1.18-25.02); rad 2, OR 8.51 (95% CI 2.21-32.83)). CONCLUSION:The only independent variable predicting AL is leakage of contrast medium. To improve the accuracy of CT imaging, optimal contrast administration near the anastomosis appears to be crucial.
