title: [New methods for treating surgically incomplete or inoperable recurrences of gynecologic malignancies].
abstract: Following radical or subradical surgery or an inoperable situation of recurrences of gynaecological tumours of the vaginal vault or the pelvic wall we suggest two different techniques of irradiation: 1. transtumoural afterloading-methods with a) flexible probes, and b) non-flexible probes 2. The application of iodine seeds. The objectives of these procedures are direct irradiation of the tumour or tumour-bed with limited irradiation volume, as well as the possibility of a simultaneous spacing and therefore protection of nearby pelvic and abdominal organs, which should not be irradiated and damaged. Examples of the various techniques of the distinguished operative and radiological procedures are presented.
