[Prevention of radiolesions of the small intestine by intrapelvic silicone breast prosthesis].
In a patient with non resectable pelvi-perineal recurrence of epidermoid carcinoma of the anus, a silicone breast prosthesis inserted into the lower pelvis made it possible to irradiate the malignant lesion without risk of radiation-induced damage to the small intestine displaced upward by the prosthesis. This unusual technique, indicated when epiplooplasty cannot be performed, has several advantages over other techniques of radioprotection of the small intestine.
