Background:

  • Pelvic exenteration is a radical surgical procedure for localized central pelvic recurrences post-chemo/radiotherapy.
  • The surgery involves extensive resection of pelvic viscera, leading to significant patient body image and lifestyle changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review pelvic exenteration in gynecologic oncology.
  • Emphasis on preoperative evaluation, surgical techniques, and postoperative management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical modifications and advancements in pelvic exenteration.
  • Focus on reconstructive techniques and their impact on morbidity.

Main Results:

  • Reconstructive advancements have minimized anatomical distortion and decreased postoperative morbidity.
