abstractText | Following operations on the rectum for carcinoma, approximately half of the patients have recurrence in the perineum, pelvis, abdomen or at the suture line of anastomosis. The prognosis is almost uniformly poor and although the problems of management are complicated, dealing with them may give the patient worthwhile physical, emotional and economic benefits. Surgical procedures used in the treatment of the common types of recurrence are discussed. |
