Surgical treatment of massive stoma site tumors after a curative operation for rectal cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and oncological outcomes of selected rectal cancer patients with massive stoma site tumors who underwent radical resection and reconstruction.

Methods: We reviewed 8 cases of massive stoma site tumors in patients who had permanent gastrointestinal stoma in the abdominal wall following radical resection of rectal cancer between March 2013 and May 2018 at the Peking University Cancer Hospital and Peking University Shougang Hospital.

[Minimally invasive low-collar incision in near total thyroidectomy].

Objective: To explore the clinical feasibility and features of adopting a low-collar arc-shaped incision for minimally invasive near total thyroidectomy.

Methods: From April 1998 to March 2007, the procedure was accepted by 53 patients with thyroidal nodules, including nodular goiter (n = 34), thyroid adenoma (n = 12) and thyroid carcinoma (n = 7). Near total thyroidectomy was performed through a 2 - 4 cm low-collar horizontal skin incision by conventional instrumentation.
