A significant 48.4% of patients undergoing salvage local resection (SLR) for incompletely resected rectal neuroendocrine tumors (r-NETs) had residual tumors. Rates varied by resection method: 70% for cold forceps polypectomy, 41.7% for conventional polypectomy/endoscopic mucosal resection, and 0% for modified techniques. Multivariate analysis indicated that suspected remnant tumors and the use of cold forceps were associated with higher residual rates, emphasizing the need for salvage resection in higher-risk cases to reduce recurrence chances.
