title: [Locally recurrent rectal cancer. Our experience].
abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the personal experience in the treatment of 31 patients (19 males, 12 females) with local recurrence following surgery for rectal adenocarcinoma. The exeresis of recurrence was possible in 17 patients (6 Miles, 9 Hartmann, 1 re-resection, 1 transanal resection); of these, only 6 patients reported an improvement of the quality of life. Patients surgically treated and patients with recurrence inoperable and submitted to palliative treatment (colostomy, pain control, radio- and/or chemotherapy) showed similar survival rates.
