We describe a case that highlights the importance of surgical team interaction to avoid intraoperative complications during bariatric surgery, as an incidental stapling of the nasogastric tube.

Recidiva of sacrococcygeal chordoma. Multidisciplinary collaboration.

Los cordomas son tumores derivados de los remanentes embrionarios de la notocorda. Son localmente invasivos y en estadios localizados la resección completa es el tratamiento de elección. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 77 años con recidiva de cordoma sacrococcígeo, intervenido por un grupo multidisciplinario formado por cirujanos coloproctólogos, plásticos y neurocirujanos, obteniendo resección en bloque y márgenes negativos.
