[Significance of surgical resection of local recurrence after gastrectomy for XXXX - report of two cases].

@entity1 @entity5 @entity254 @entity694 @entity356 @entity1002
We report on 2 @entity1 with @entity356 who underwent surgicalresection for localrecurrence after gastrectomy. @entity1 1 was admitted to our hospitalbecause of @entity1002 caused by localrecurrence with abdominalwal l invasion. He had undergone distalgastrectomy for @entity356 2 years and 4 months previously. Surgicalresection of the @entity5 involving the stomach-jejunum @entity254 region with partialhepatectomy and colectomy was performed. The @entity1 was subsequently discharged without symptoms. A re-recurrence requiring ileocolic bypass then occurred. In spite of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he died 6 months after the re-recurrence. @entity1 2 was admitted to our hospitalbecause of ileus by transverse @entity694 . He had undergone total gastrectomy for @entity356 6 years and 7 months previously and received chemotherapy for local recurrence 4 years after the first surgery. Resection of the local recurrence involving the right transverse colon and the gallbladder was performed at that time. He was discharged without symptoms. He exhibited rerecurrence in the right-upper abdomen 2 months after the second operation. Surgicalresection for localrecurrence is useful for the improvement of quality of life(QOL)in appropriate cases, but the re-recurrence risk is high because of low curability in these cases.
