Figure 2 Abdominal radiographs of the patient complicated by anastomotic leakage. A: Gastrografin study showed complete healing of the anastomotic leakage with the ring (arrow) retained at the anastomosis a week before ileostomy takedown; B: The ring was eliminated from the body spontaneously and was no longer seen on the radiograph nine days after the ileostomy closure.
