title: [OUTCOME OF PELVIC EXENTERATION FOR LOCALLY ADVANCED CANCER OF THE PELVIC ORGANS].
abstract: We analyzed the outcomes of pelvic exenteration in patients with locally advanced cancer of the pelvic organs. During the period from 2006 to 2013 at the Leningrad Regional Oncology Dispensary there were carried out 218 exenterations of the pelvis. Postoperative complications occurred in 68 patients (31.2%), 17 patients died, mortality was 7.8%. The average surgery time was 186 minutes. The average blood loss was 860 ml. In assessing the oncological effectiveness of surgical interventions it was revealed that a 5-year survival rate ranged from 32% in bladder cancer, up to 50% in cervical cancer. Careful selection of patients, multidisciplinary approach to the problem has paramount importance to achieve satisfactory outcomes.
