Core Tip
Core tip: We report a case of a double isolated anastomotic recurrence (AR) after sigmoidectomy. At present, only six cases of repeated isolated AR have been described. Repeated isolated ARs are rare, and segmental colorectal resections are generally associated with long-term disease-free survival.
