Resection of Jejunal Loop Recurrence in a Patient with Gastric Cancer with Situs Inversus

Abstract

The patient was a man in his seventies who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer (pStage Ib) associated with partial situs inversus with multiple visceral malformations about one year and seven months earlier. Following a one-year oral administration of TS-1, recurrence occurred in the jejunal loop. As non-curative factors other than the local recurrence were absent, the jejunal loop was resected that contributed to an improvement of his quality of life (QOL). We present this case with a review of the literature.
