Figure 3 Postoperative anastomosis computed tomography image. A: Computed tomography (CT) on postoperative day 6 showed changes consistent with postoperative gastrointestinal tract. The red arrow showed the position of the anastomosis; B: CT on postoperative day 13 showed anastomosis at the lower end of the esophagus. Red arrow showed the cystic air-containing cavity in the right mediastinum appears to be connected to the anastomosis and the possibility of an anastomotic fistula is considered.

Figure 4 Radiography of gastrografin swallow. A: Radiography of gastrografin swallow before the anastomotic fistula repair. The lower esophagus was anastomosed with jejunum after radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer and contrast agent leakage was seen at the upper end of anastomosis; B: Radiography of gastrografin swallow after the anastomotic fistula repair. Arrow shows contrast agent leakage.
