The incidence of locally recurrent rectal cancer is about 10%. Most patients have serious symptoms after tumor recurrence, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Although it is more difficult to perform reoperation, it is still the main method to treat local recurrence of rectal cancer. At present, the main methods of reoperation include transabdominal anterior resection, combined pelvic organ resection, combined pelvic organ resection, and sacral resection. Open surgery is the main method. In recent years, with the extensive development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic techniques have been tried at home and abroad to perform reoperations for locally recurrent rectal cancer, showing good short-term results. The authors systematically introduce the application of laparoscopic technology in the reoperation of locally recurrent rectal cancer based on relevant research advances at home and abroad, in order to explore its clinical application prospects and promotion value.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status and overall survival (OS) in Uygur patients with stageⅣnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who did not accept tyrosine kinase inhibitor treat-ment. Methods Totally 97 tissue samples were collected from Uygur patients with stageⅣNSCLC who did not accept tyro-sine kinase inhibitor treatment. EML4-ALK fusion gene and EGFR mutation status were detected by using FISH and ARMS methods. The survival rates were analysed. Results In 97 tissue samples, EML4-ALK fusion genes were found in 6 (6.2%) samples, EGFR mutations were found in 26 (26.8%) samples. The survival analysis showed that there was no significant dif-ference in OS between EML4-ALK fusion gene group and no EML4-ALK fusion gene group (P=0.941). There was no signifi-cant difference in OS between EGFR mutation group and wild-type EGFR group (P=0.607). The values of median OS were 17.7 months, 17.3 months and 16.2 months for EGFR mutant group, EML4-ALK positive group and EML4-ALK negative+EGFR wild-type group, and thre was no significant difference between them (P=0.915). Conclusion Excluding the thera-peutic influence in TKIs, EML4-ALK fusion gene and EGFR mutation status of tumor tissue can not be used as an indepen-dent factor in assessing the prognosis in Uygur patients with stageⅣNSCLC.
