[Reoperative treatment of recurrent retroperitoneal tumor]
1Department of General Surgery, General Hospital of People's Liberation Army, Beijing 100853.
Objective:
To improve the resection rate and survival rate for recurrent retroperitoneal tumor (RRT).
Method:
We analysed 34 patients with RRT who were treated in our hospital from 1987 to 1995. One patient had benign tumor, the others malignant. Because 7 patients were operated on over one time, we performed 53 operations including complete resection in 42 patients, palliative resection 8 and biopsy 3.
Result:
The 1-and 2-year survival rates for complete resection cases were 71.2% and 65.3%. The patients who received palliative resection and biopsy died within one year.
Conclusion:
The diagnosis, preoperative preparation and intraoperative management of RRT are important to operative safety and survival rate. We emphasize the importance of reoperation and complete resection for RRT.
