title: [ADVANCE IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PRIMARY SACRUM TUMOR].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the research progress of surgical treatment for primary sacrum tumor.
  
  
  METHODS
  The domestic and foreign related literature about surgical treatment of primary sacrum tumor, and many aspects of its surgical procedures, intraoperative hemostasis, pelvic reconstruction, protection of sacral nerve, complications, and prognosis was summarized and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operation is the major therapy for primary sacrum tumor. However, surgical procedures, protection of sacral nerve, and the way of intraoperative hemostasis remain controversial. Meanwhile, the complexity of pelvic reconstruction, the diversity of complications, and prognosis related with many factors bring difficulties and challenges to the surgical treatment.
