[Reintervention for cancer of operated stomach]

From 1958 to 2000 yrs in 405 patients were performed reoperations for the resected stomach cancer, of them 209 (51.6%)--gastric reresection. Combined intervention was done in 65.6% of observations. Mortality was 20.6%, in the last consecutive 93 patients--10.7%. Three-year survival index was 40.9%, five-year one--26.2%, ten-year--22.3%. Late follow-up results did not differ from such after the first operation for gastric cancer because together with gastric remnant were excised intestinal loop, incorporated in anastomosis with her mesentery, in the lymph nodes of which the tumor metastasizing occurs along the lymphatic ways newly created after gastric resection conduction.
