%X Soft tissue sarcomas are characterized by their great anatomo-clinical diversity and their high potential for recurrence. Our Objective was to determine recurrence factors in soft tissue sarcomas in the General and Digestive Surgery Unit of Yalgado Ou¨¦draogo University Hospital from 1 st January 2010 to 30 th August 2015. This is a cohort retrospective study which concerns patients followed-up for soft tissue sarcomas in the General and Digestive Surgery Unit of Yalgado Ou¨¦draogo University Hospital from 1 st January 2010 to 30 th August 2015. The data were analyzed with Epi-info 7 software. To assess the stability of associations, Pearson¡¯s chi square tests or Fisher exact tests were used. A risk ¦Á=0.05 was admitted. Fifty-four cases of soft tissue sarcomas were collected and 40 cases included in the study. The frequency of soft tissue sarcomas was 0.03% compared to all cancers in our department. On univariate analysis, recurrences were significantly associated with the tumour resection margin (p=0.014), the operator¡¯s qualification (p=0.012), the histologic type (p=0.04) and the recurrence history (p=0.0004). On multivariate analysis, the resection margin remained significantly associated with recurrences (p=0.03). Recurrence factors mostly involved the resection margin, the operator¡¯s qualification, the histologic type and the recurrence history. A good mastery of soft tissue sarcomas surgery will significantly reduce recurrence risks.
