[Use of endoscopy for sacral resection: a clinical case].
A case of clinical application of endoscopy in the course of surgery for sacral resection is discussed. Video-assisted frontal approach was used to ligate internal ileac vessels and to detach the fore end of tumor. Subsequently, the sacrum was removed via back access. Unlike standard methods using trans- or extraperitoneal frontal approach, our procedure involved less trauma and was followed by a shorter rehabilitation period.
