  • Title: Laparotomy wound and anastomotic recurrences after resection for cecum cancer: a case report.
    Author: Nakagoe T, Sawai T, Tsuji T, Tanaka K, Nanashima A, Shibasaki S, Yamaguchi H, Yasutake T, Ayabe Y.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 2007; 54(79):2037-9. PubMed ID: 18251155.
    Abstract:
    We report herein the case of a 46-year-old man who developed recurrences in both the incisional laparotomy wound of the abdominal wall and the stapled anastomotic site following ileo-colonic resection for cecum cancer. The patient had initially undergone laparoscopic surgery but had converted to conventional open surgery. Intestinal reconstruction had been performed by stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis between the ileum and ascending colon. The implantation of exfoliated cancer cells during the operation may have caused recurrence.
