Pelvic exenteration--Medical College of Georgia experience.
Between 1959 and 1983, 42 pelvic exenterations were performed. The early experience shows a rather high surgical mortality; 7 out of the first 10 cases. This has been improved with experience and better pre- and postoperative care. There has been no postoperative mortality in the last 20 patients. The combined published reports show an operative mortality of 15-17%.
