Spontaneous delivery after hemipelvectomy because of chondrosarcoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Thirteen patients after hemipelvectomy and subsequent delivery of 18 living children are presented in the literature. Pregnancy following this radical surgical procedure is rare. In modern medicine there will be a place for patients who underwent such a procedure and have a wish for children. We present an additional case of spontaneous delivery in a patient with a hemipelvectomy to the 11 already known and a review of the literature of the past 81 years.
