Article Synopsis
- Rectal neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors with a worse prognosis compared to common adenocarcinomas, and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery is not well-established.
- A 48-year-old woman diagnosed with rectal NEC following a laparoscopic resection received postoperative chemotherapy with irinotecan and cisplatin, showing no recurrence after three years.
- This case emphasizes the need for a combination of surgical and chemotherapy treatments in managing aggressive rectal NECs effectively.
Aim: Our aim was to investigate the predictive factors for Hartmann's reversal and to describe the differences in the rates and timings of Hartmann's reversal for various causative diseases.
Method: In this multicentre retrospective cohort study patients who underwent Hartmann's procedure (HP) between 2006 and 2018 were enrolled. To describe the demographic patterns of Hartmann's reversal through to 2021, we analysed the cumulative incidence rate of Hartmann's reversal over time based on the Kaplan-Meier failure estimate.
