OBJECTIVE: To review the experience of reoperation for recurrent @entity189 and @entity418 . METHOD: Between 1979 and 1996, 44 @entity1 with recurrent esophageal and @entity4617 after the first operation underwent reoperation. Among them, 21 had @entity418 and 23 @entity4617 . 36 @entity1 were male and 8 female, with age ranged from 42 to 68 years. RESULT: The resectability rate was 77.2% (34/44) and the hospital mortality rate was 5.8%. @entity260 occurred in 7 @entity1 with a morbidity of 20.5%. Pathologically, previous anastomotic relapse was seen in 26 @entity1 , recurrent lesion of residual esophagus in 7, and recurrent cancerous residue at the esophageal bed in 1. 15 @entity1 (44%) showed lymph node @entity3 . Follow-up showed that 4 @entity1 survived for 5 years, 4 for 3 years, and 3 for 2 years. 15 @entity1 died within one year after reoperation. CONCLUSION: The recurrence of esophageal and @entity4617 after first operation is not a contraindication to reoperation, but careful preoperative assessment and @entity1 ' selection should become an integral part of the evaluation of these @entity1 .
