    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hip disarticulation surgery is detailed for removing tumors below the femur's lesser trochanter. This procedure involves precise muscle and nerve transection, followed by careful wound closure for optimal patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Oncology

    Background:

    • Hip disarticulation is a critical limb-sparing surgery.
    • It is typically indicated for malignant tumors located below the lesser trochanter of the femur.
    • Accurate surgical technique is paramount for successful outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a detailed description of the hip disarticulation surgical procedure.
    • To outline the anatomical landmarks and critical steps involved in the surgery.
    • To serve as a reference for surgeons performing this complex operation.

    Main Methods:

    • The procedure is performed with the patient in a posterolateral position, with the surgeon changing position during the operation.
    • It involves sequential transection of anterior thigh muscles (sartorius, adductor magnus, iliopsoas, obturator externus) and posterior muscles (gluteal fascia, tensor fascia lata, gluteus maximus) at their origins or insertions.

  • Key steps include division of femoral vessels and nerve, preservation of the quadratus femoris muscle, division of the sciatic nerve, and careful wound closure with suction drains.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique allows for complete tumor removal while preserving essential structures where possible.
    • The surgical steps ensure adequate exposure and facilitate the division of muscles and nerves.
    • Closure involves approximating preserved muscles and securing fascial layers, promoting healing.

    Conclusions:

    • Hip disarticulation is a viable surgical option for managing extensive tumors of the femur.
    • A thorough understanding of surgical anatomy and meticulous technique are essential for this procedure.
    • This detailed operative description can aid in standardizing the procedure and improving surgical education.
