Abstract:
A case of rectal cancer developing several years after a stapled pelvic pouch procedure is described. The need for concern about leaving residual columnar epithelium in patients with dysplasia or a synchronous cancer is highlighted. In this setting, leaving long segments of native rectum is particularly ill advised.
