title: Port-site recurrence after laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy: report of the first case.
abstract: In advanced gastric cancer, laparoscopic management has been associated with trocar-site recurrence, even though laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomies have reported positive results to treat early-stage gastric cancer in the world. There are no reports of port-site recurrence after laparoscopic gastrectomy in the literature. In this paper, we present a case report of advanced gastric cancer with port-site recurrence 12 month after the initial operation. A wide excision of this recurrence was performed. Otherwise, the evaluation of metastasis in other sites remained negative at 18 months after the original operation. The laparoscopic surgeon should be aware of trocar-site recurrence when dealing with advanced gastric cancer.
