Objective:
To explore the indication and the procedure of reoperation in patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.
Methods:
Clinical data of 35 patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer from January 1998 to December 2002 undergone reoperation were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Among the 35 cases, 19 underwent radical resection, 11 palliative resection and 5 colostomy(or laparotomy). The 5-year survival rates of the radical, palliative and colostomy(or laparotomy) were 35.3%, 18.2% and 0 respectively. Median survival time was 45, 22 and 9 months respectively.
Conclusion:
Optimal reoperation for the patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer can improve the survival rate and quality of life effectively.
