  • Title: [X-ray examination of the operated intestine in Crohn's disease. (author's transl)].
    Author: Gürtler KF, Erbe W.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1980 Sep; 33(9):453-8. PubMed ID: 7414223.
    Abstract:
    Since Crohn's disease often entails complications, surgery is mandatory in many cases. The postoperative relapse rate is high (50-90%). The most important method to discover such relapses is represented by x-ray examination. In 15 surgically treated cases, relapses were observed in 7 patients. The region of the anastomosis is most frequently affected by relapses and complications. Optimal information in respect of differentiation of purely surgically conditioned changes and relapses is given by enteroclysm and double-contrast roentgenography of the colon.
