==Prognosis==
==Prognosis==
Potential postoperative complications include infection, wound dehiscence, faecal incontinence and in 25% of cases, local recurrence. Hypercalcaemia reoccurs in 35-50% of cases due to metastases. Serum calcium levels should therefore be regularly checked along with evidence of mass regrowth. Post-op survival ranges between 2 and 39 months with the average being 8 months.
