    Summary

    Barium enemas use a retention balloon near the anorectal junction to prevent leakage. Counterpressure from a small barium-filled bag on the rectal tip ensures a secure seal during the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Barium enemas are a common diagnostic imaging procedure.
    • Preventing leakage during barium enemas is crucial for accurate results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a method for preventing leakage during barium enemas.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a retention balloon positioned at the anorectal junction.
    • Employing counterpressure generated by a small barium-filled bag on the rectal tip.

    Main Results:

    • The described method effectively maintains the retention balloon in close apposition to the anorectal junction.
    • Leakage during barium enemas is prevented.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique ensures a secure seal, improving the quality and reliability of barium enema examinations.
