CT scan score may predict dangerous leaks after colon surgery
NCT ID NCT04002921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple score based on artery calcifications seen on a CT scan can help predict a serious complication called anastomotic leakage after right colon removal. Over 600 adults scheduled for surgery had their CT scans reviewed. The goal is to see if a high calcification score (3 or more) identifies patients at higher risk, so doctors can take extra precautions.
