Abstract:
A 35-year-old women with sigmoid cancer(pT4aN1aM0, pStage Ⅲb)underwent laparoscopic sigmoidectomy. She had 8 courses of CapeOX for adjuvant chemotherapy, but follow up CT scan 1 year after the operation detected intraabdominal nodules in anastomotic site and in left lower quadrant of abdomen. After 10 courses of IRIS plus bevacizumab, the both intraabdominal nodules decreased in size. Robot assisted laparoscopic lower anterior resection and laparoscopic disseminated nodule resection were performed. The patient had no postoperative complications and the postoperative course was good. She remains alive without recurrence at 6 months after the second operation.
