RESUMO
Objective To investigate the cause of stoma recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer and discover the methods of prevention and treatment.Methods A total 91 patients with stoma recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer (or Dixon) were analysed retrospectively between 1985 and 1996. Fourty seven patients experienced re radical resection (Miles), 27 cases palliative resection, and 11 cases only exploration. Thirty two cases had been followed up for 5 years and obtained 1,3,5 year survival rate for re radical radical resection (Miles). Diagnosis and treatment of stomal recurrence after Dixon were evaluated. Results One, three and five year survival rate of re radical resection (Miles) was 93%,77%,45% respectively.Conclusion To amplify blindly the adaptation of Dixon is to raise the rate of stoma recurrence. Digital rectal examination and fiberopic colonoscopy (and biopsy) are very essential methods for the diagnosis of stoma recurrence, and we strive to do re radical resection (Miles) for the patients with stoma recurrence after Dixon's operation.
