Rectal Contrast CT Scan (CT Scan)
A CT scan or computed tomography scan is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to get detailed images of the body noninvasively for diagnostic purposes.
A CT (computerized tomography) enema scan is a test to look at your large bowel.
- Low Anterior Resection Surgery (LAR) – LAR is a common treatment for rectal cancer when the cancer is located well above the anus.
- Large bowel resection – A portion of the large bowel (colon) is removed because of cancer, stricture, necrosis, or other medical conditions.
With all the mentioned conditions above, a rectal seal is required to achieve the appropriate imaging to identify any signs of early problem. The Cephus Catheter solves the problem with creating an optimal rectal seal.
LAR evaluation was difficult to obtain adequate evaluation because a balloon could not be inflated in the rectum due to the risk of disrupting the area of surgery. However, with the Cephus Catheter, the proximal balloon can be inflated and seal the anal canal from the outside and provide an excellent evaluation of the surgical bed with no risk of disrupting the anastomosis.
