Abstract

Local recurrence after rectal cancer surgery is often difficult to treat because there are few effective treatments. In this study, we report a case of parastomal and perineal recurrence after Miles' surgery in an elderly patient who had a favorable outcome after laparoscopic surgery and radiation therapy. Our results suggest that a combination of minimally invasive treatment may be effective in elderly patients and after polysurgery.
