A1: fecal discharge from abdominal drain site with skin excoriation around drain site; A2: Fecal discharge from suture line with soaked dressing

B: CECT (A+P) showing complete anastomotic dehiscence and contrast extravasation from ileal loops to drain site, suggestive of enterocutaneous fistula (5.5 mm thick, 35 mm long). Multiple intra-abdominal collections, indicative of peritonitis secondary to anastomotic leak
