[Pelvic exenteration].
Pelvic exenteresis (total, anterior and posterior) is operative procedure reserved for the local advanced malignancies of the pelvis. In the period 1995-2001, we have treated 54 patients (20 male, 34 female) by this procedures. By anterior pelvic exenteresis we have treated 6 females for: Ca vesicae urinary (4 pts). Ca PVU after irradiation therapy (1 patient), Ca urethrae (1 patient). By posterior pelvic exenteresis we have treated 2 females for primary advanced Ca of the rectum. By total pelvic exenteresis we have treated 46 pts (20 male, 26 female): Ca PVU after irradiation therapy (10 females), recidivant Ca PVU (8 females), primary advanced Ca of the rectum (7 male, 1 female), recidivant Ca of the rectum (10 male, 7 female), recidivant Schwanoma (1 male), recidivant Sa stromae endometrii (1 female), recidivant Ca vesicae urinary (1 female). The median survival time of all 54 patients was 24 months. Early postoperative mortality was 18% (10 pts). Twenty patients died with median survival of 18 months (range 4-48 months). Twenty one patients are alive without evidence of disease with median follow up period of 41 months (range 6-60 months). Three patients were lost from follow up. Exenteresis pelvis is very complicate operative procedure and it should be limited to perform only in couple surgical centers.
