[Roentgendiagnostics of suture insufficiency and fistulation after operations of the gastro-intestinal tract (author's transl)].
The early roentgen examination permits the recognition of postoperative complications. Direct and indirect signs of suture insufficiency may be observed. An insufficiency can be proven by oral administration of watersoluble contrast substances or by extern filling of the fistula. The most frequent indirect sign is the extraintestinal air in constant position. Sonography and roentgen diagnostics complete each other, computer tomography may give similar results.
