Abstract

Multivisceral resectioning is the only curative treatment for progressive carcinomas extending beyond the organ. The results of 25 consecutively operated patients are presented in this prospective observational study. Twelve patients underwent surgery for a primary tumor and 13 for a recurrence. Radical resectioning was achieved in 5 of 12 and in 3 of 13 patients. Restoration of continuity obtained in 11 of 12 and in 7 of 13 patients. Morbidity was 33% and 62%. None of the patients died from complications. An aggressive surgical approach is justifiable on account of the acceptable morbidity and mortality as well as the high rate of preserved continence through modern reconstruction procedures.
