From: Early postoperative imaging after non-bariatric gastric resection: a primer for radiologists
A 77-year-old female with distal gastric carcinoma underwent partial gastrectomy. Early postoperative CF (A) showed slow emptying of gastric remnant through the GJS (arrowhead), without appreciable extraluminal leaks. Six days later, the patient suffered from high fever: contrast-enhanced CT (B-C) showed dilated remnant stomach (+), absence of collections adjacent to the GJS (arrowheads in C and D), but persistent intraperitoneal air and fluid consistent with peritonitis, confirmed at surgical exploration: after redo anastomosis, the final status of GJS (arrowhead) is shown in D
