Background And Objectives: This study reviewed the results of surgery for distal rectal cancer following the introduction of total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer.
Methods: Two hundred sixty-four patients who had undergone elective curative surgical resection of rectal cancer within 12 cm of the anal verge were included. Comparisons were made between patients who had different surgical procedures.
Background And Objectives: To analyze treatment and survival in 34 patients (28 resected) with primary or recurrent retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS).
Methods: Between July 1994 and January 2001, 34 patients (15M, 19F; mean age: 56 years, range: 25-77) were evaluated. Complete resection was defined as removal of gross tumor with histologically confirmed clear resection margins.
Background And Aims: This study reviewed the results of surgery for distal rectal cancer (where the tumour was within 6 cm of the anal verge) following the introduction of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer in one institution.
Patients And Methods: One hundred and fifty-three patients who had undergone elective curative surgical resection of rectal cancer within 6 cm of the anal verge were included. The demographic, operative and follow-up data were collected retrospectively.
Background/aims: To analyze treatment and survival in a series of 39 patients with primary or recurrent retroperitoneal sarcoma treated and prospectively followed at a single institution.
Methodology: Between July 1994 and January 2002, 39 patients (20M, 19F; mean age: 56 years, range: 25-77) were evaluated.
Results: Thirty-two out of 39 patients (82%) (18 were affected by primary retroperitoneal sarcoma, and 14 by recurrent retroperitoneal sarcoma), were submitted for resection.
