Interilioabdominal amputation.
Thirty two consecutive cases of interilioabdominal amputation are reported. They were performed for malignant tumours of the hip and the proximal end of the femur and thigh. This operation is rather more frequently indicated than disarticulation of the hip and involves less trauma.
