title: [After care in treatment of functional disorders after tumor excision--from the surgical viewpoint].
abstract: Radical cancer surgery cures by setting defects. Consequently there are limits to the conservation or restoration of organ functions. These problems are mainly relevant to gastric and rectal surgery. Conservative treatment is the treatment of choice for functional deficiencies. If it fails, surgical intervention can be successful in rebuilding reservoir functions and eliminating transport disturbances, but it can only poorly imitate the function of digestive sphincters.
