Does reoperation (re-excision) prevent local recurrence in patients with soft tissue sarcoma after inadequate initial operation?
Primary re-excision is indicated after an inadequate initial operation for soft tissue sarcoma due to the high rate of residual tumor and low subsequent local recurrence rate.
Zornig et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities and trunk (n=189). Primary re-excision was evaluated on Local recurrence. Primary re-excision after an inadequate initial operation for soft tissue sarcoma resulted in a local recurrence rate of 7% after a mean follow-up of 32 months.
