    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pelvic Surgery

    Background:

    • Pelvic exenteration is a radical surgical procedure for advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies.
    • Tertiary referral centers manage complex cases requiring specialized surgical expertise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the initial experience and outcomes of pelvic exenteration for gynecological malignancies.
    • To evaluate the feasibility, complications, and survival rates associated with this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 15 patients who underwent pelvic exenteration for gynecological malignancies between 2011 and 2013.
    • Data collected included type of exenteration, indications, surgical reconstruction, complications, and survival outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Fifteen pelvic exenterations were performed: six total, four anterior, and five posterior.
    • Indications included cervical (9), vaginal (1), and ovarian (5) cancers.
    • In-hospital complications occurred in 40% of patients, with a 13% perioperative mortality rate. Eight patients survived, six died from disease, and one was lost to follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Pelvic exenteration can achieve long-term survival and potential cure for selected patients with advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies.
    • While perioperative mortality can be low in carefully selected cases, postoperative complications remain a significant concern and can be life-threatening.
