[Reintervention in recurrent carcinoma of the large bowel (author's transl)].
Reintervention has a good change of success in recurrent of carcinoma of the sigma and colon. Early detection is essential for reintervention to be  successful, and meticulous follow-up is therefore necessary in all patients operated on for tumors: follow-up examinations can best be carried out at a special tumor clinic. Since 1964,-42 patients have undergone reintervention for recurrences. In 50% of them the condition was found to be inoperable. On the other hand, 14 of 21 patients in whom reintervention was successful are still alive. Adjuvant therapy such as radio therapy or cytostatics is rarely administered, but should be employed more in the future.
