Surgical repair of genital prolapse after hemipelvectomy.
A patient is presented who had hemipelvectomy for fibrosarcoma of the left upper femur, subsequently was delivered of two term infants vaginally, and came to us 11 years after hemipelvectomy because of genital prolapse. The technical difficulties involved in repair and the innovations used to overcome these difficulties are discussed. We have been unable to find a report of genital prolapse associated with hemipelvectomy anywhere in the English literature.
