title: [Contribution of imaging in complications of colo-anal anastomoses. Apropos of 61 cases].
abstract: The authors studied the complications occurring in 61 cases of colo-anal anastomosis carried out for cancer in 55 cases. Fistula formation occurred in 14 cases i.e. approximately 23%. This was symptomatic in 11 cases i.e. 18%. Their clinical course was favourable. One case of necrosis of the reservoir was seen. The recurrence rate for neoplasms was 14.3% and was no higher than after abdomino-perineal resection. The procedure is justified in terms of tumour recurrence.
