title: Pelvic exenteration for advanced pelvic malignancies.
abstract: Our experience of 76 pelvic exenterations for advanced pelvic malignancies is presented, with emphasis on the results and complications. The overall operative mortality rate of 14% is acceptable, and a five-year survival rate of 20% has been achieved. The procedure has a definite role to play in the management of advanced but otherwise localized pelvic malignancies.
