[Conservative surgery and restoration after pelvic exenteration].
Pelvic exenteration can be proposed to non-metastatic patients with advanced or recurrent pelvic cancer and remains frequently the only potentially curative option in combination with others therapies. Colorectal function preservation and reconstructive procedures are useful to decrease functional and psychologic impact and postoperative morbidity. Technical procedures including urinary diversion, colorectal function preservation, vaginal reconstruction and pelvic filling are described and commented. Specific morbidity is analysed.
