title: Post colon surgery complications: imaging findings.
abstract: Several standardized types of colonic resections are available in the clinical practice. All of them may produce early and late complications. Diagnostic imaging plays a pivotal role in the recognition of post-operative colorectal complications and provides fundamental information for therapeutic planning. In this paper we review the imaging findings of early and late post-operative complications of colorectal surgery.
