All of the 10 patients with cervical cancer recurrence accompanied with intestinal obstruction and disturbance of independent walking after radical radiotherapy.@*Results@#The median fasting time of the 10 patients was 21 days, the median weight was 35.5 kg, the median body mass index (BMI) was 13.3 kg/m2, the median value of hemoglobin was 67 g/L, and the median value of platelet was 44×109 /L. All of the patients underwent enterostomy. the median operation time was 6.0 min and the median amount of bleeding was 5.0 ml.
