Abstract:
Objective To explore the factors related to local recurrence after resection of rectal carcinoma and the significance of reoperation. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical date of 25 cases who had local recurrence after resection of rectal carcinoma. Results The primary operation revealed that 19 cases were in Dukes stage B,15 in stage C.8 cases were low-differentiated adenocarcinoma,2 adenocarcinoma and 3 malignant chang of villous adenoma. The distal incision margin from the tunor was <3 cm in 16 cases, >3cm in 9. Radical operation was performed in 12 cases, palliative opration in 9; and non-resection procedure was made in 4. The median survival time in radical operation group was 30 months, in palliative opration group 12 months, and in non-resection group 2.3 months. 5-year survival rate in reopration patients was 21.7%. Conclusions Local recurrence after resection of rectal carcinoma is closely related to the Duckes' classification, histological type of tumor, and selection of operation.Active surgical intervention is indicated for local recurrence after resection of rectal carcinoma which can prolong the patient's survival time.
