title: [Radiologic diagnosis of benign and malignant changes occurring at anastomoses following resection of colonic cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: Following resection of carcinoma of the colon, local recurrence at the site of the anastomosis must be expected in about 10%. Recurrence diagnosed early can be resected in 50%. Double contrast technique has proven to be most helpful in early diagnosis of recurrence. Therefore, radiographic follow-up examination, in adequate time intravals permit an early differentiation between lesions due to recurrence and due to the surgical procedure or prolonged healing of the anastomosis. Close cooperation with clinical follow-up, especially by endoscopy and biopsy, guarantees reliably good care of patients after resection of cancer of the colon or rectum.
