title: [Plastic reconstructive therapy for postoncologic defect wounds in the pelvis].
abstract: Surgical or multimodal therapy of tumors of the pelvis often results in complex defects leading to functional and structural deficits, with the inability to sit or even lie without pain. Multimodal therapy may cause induration of soft tissues and muscles, obstruction of the small bowel, fistulas, and infected cavities. Early soft tissue reconstruction, preferably with myocutaneous flaps, reduces postoperative problems in these patients by early coverage of defects, closure of cavities, and prevention of wound healing complications and therefore allows earlier rehabilitation.
