Is 'second look surgery' justified in suspected recurrences of cancer of the stomach?

A series of 23 patients with suspected recurrent disease following 'curative' resection for gastric carcinoma was submitted to further laparotomy (24 operations). Three patients were found to have hopeless dissemination, 10 had palliative procedures performed which relieved their dysphagia, vomiting and jaundice, 4 had recurrences resected and 1 had a second primary of the gastric stump excised. No less than 6 were found to have benign lesions. Although the reward as far as prolonged survival is small, we believe that the relief of symptoms and the occasional long term excellent result justifies judicious use of a 'second look' laparotomy for suspected recurrent disease.

Is a 'second look operation' justified in suspected recurrences after abdominal cancer surgery?

Seventy-three patients have been submitted to 74 further laparotomies for suspected recurrent malignant abdominal disease over a period of 13 months. The original tumour was situated in the large bowel in 42, oesophagus or stomach in 24, ovary in 3, small intestine in 2 and pancreas and retroperitoneum in 1 instance each. There were 10 examples of benign lesions, 16 of further primary cancer and 24 of resectable local recurrences or metastases. Seventeen patients underwent some palliative procedure, and only 7 were beyond any surgical help.
