A member asked:
Barium enema after a perirectal abscess surgery, what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enema is needed: Barium is probably not the contrast media I would choose. I would perform . I would choose a water soluble media. Just in case the cause of the abscess was a hole in the bowel. Better to have water soluble contrast rather than barium. As always best to talk to the doctors
