Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Orthopedic Oncology

Background:

  • Sacral tumors present complex surgical challenges.
  • Total sacrectomy is a radical approach for managing these tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review oncologic and functional outcomes of patients undergoing total sacrectomy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and complications of total sacrectomy for sacral tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of nine patients treated with total sacrectomy (L5 or L5-S1).
  • Histologic diagnoses included osteosarcoma, giant cell tumors, chondrosarcomas, and chordomas.
  • Analysis of resection margins, reconstruction methods, complications, and survival rates.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Six patients had wide resection margins; two had intralesional margins.
  • Wound complications (dehiscence, infection) occurred in 45.5% of patients, requiring reintervention.
  • 33% of patients died within 50 months due to recurrence or metastases; six patients were disease-free at follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Total sacrectomy is a valuable procedure for achieving local tumor control and improving survival for sacral tumors.
  • The procedure is associated with significant morbidity, including wound complications and potential hernia formation.
  • Functional outcomes did not correlate with the use of reconstruction methods.
