[Interiliac-abdominal amputation in sarcoma of the bones and soft tissues of the pelvic girdle]

The interilio-abdominal amputation was fulfilled in 62 patients for the period from 1960 to 1979. The postoperative mortality was 6,4%. General five-year survival was 24,3% +/- 5,6. The survival terms were dependent first of all on the tumor type. The advances of anesthesiology, reanimatology and operative oncology have considerably reduced the danger of interilio-abdominal amputation. So, indications for the operation can become wider even in the cases when it has a palliative character.
