Abstract:We performed a retrospective review of 68 patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for colorectal adenocarcinoma. Forty-seven patients had surgery for primary disease and 21 for recurrence. Clinical recurrence developed in 30 (44%) of 68 patients overall. Of these, 17 (57%) developed locoregional disease only as their first recurrence. This included nine (56%) of 16 patients with primary disease and eight (57%) of 14 patients with recurrent disease. Clinical recurrence developed in 16 (34%) of 47 patients wi… Show more
“…The long-term results of radical pelvic surgery for recurrent disease are substantially poorer than for patients who have not had previous operations. In the series of Hafner et al [53], for example, the recurrence rate was 34% in patients with primary disease and 66% in patients having surgery for recurrent rectal carcinoma. The overall 5-year survival rate was 43% in patients with primary tumors compared with 20% in those with recurrent lesions.…”

“…Published series originate mainly from large academic institutions in the United States [11,12]. Herein, we report our experience with pelvic exenterations for colorectal cancers in a small community hospital.…”
Pelvic exenterative procedures can be offered to patients with bulky or recurrent colorectal carcinomas with adequate results and satisfactory palliation, even in a community setting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
