[Combined interventions in non-organic neoplasms of the small pelvis]

Experience with 62 combined operations on patients with nonorganic new growths of the true pelvis is discussed. They accounted for 33.3% of 227 radical interventions undertaken for this disease. The ages of the patients ranged from 4 months to 64 years. Ten patients were admitted after exploratory laparotomies. Benign new growths were diagnosed in 14 and malignant new growths in 48 patients. Different variants of operative approaches were used. Most frequently the tumor was resected together with bones, iliac vessels, genitalia, and urinary bladder. Various complications were noted in 39 patients who were operated on. Hemorrhage was the most frequent and menacing complication--in 26 patients. Two patients died. Recurrences were found in 8 of a group of 60 patients discharge from the clinic. After combined operations for malignant nonorganic tumors of the true pelvis 3-year survival was 36.0%, 5-year survival was 29.4%.
