Abstract

Despite significant progress in the treatment of rectal cancer, local recurrence remains a difficult problem,1 resulting in considerable morbidity and high cancer-related mortality. Prevention of local recurrence should therefore be the chief goal of the operating surgeon and multidisciplinary management team. However, some patients are potential candidates for curative re-resection and therapy. This chapter addresses the issues involved in surgical management of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.
