Technique and normal appearances of water-soluble contrast enema (WSC-SE) using an inflated Foley catheter (thick arrows) passed through the stoma. a In a patient with long-standing Crohn’s disease, WSC-SE performed via end ileostomy in the right iliac fossa shows the radio-opaque diluted contrast medium filling the upstream small bowel, without signs of stricture or dilatation. b Following right colectomy, WSC-SE at defunctioning ileostomy depicts the normal termino-lateral ileo-transverse anastomosis (arrow) without anastomotic leakage. c After recent sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis, WSC-SE shows patent residual colon up to the rectum, without extraluminal leakage. d Before planned ileostomy takedown, after restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis, WSC-SE via the efferent limb opacifies the small bowel up to the newly created ileal pouch (o)
