    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Pelvic sarcomas pose significant surgical challenges.
    • Traditional hemipelvectomy and hip disarticulation can lead to substantial morbidity.
    • A modified approach is needed to improve functional outcomes and reduce trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a conservative hemipelvectomy technique.
    • To assess functional outcomes and oncologic control in patients undergoing this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of ten patients undergoing conservative hemipelvectomy.
    • The procedure involves resection of the ischium and subjacent extremity while retaining the ilium.
    • An anterior surgical approach was utilized to minimize patient repositioning.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure was performed in approximately 1.5 hours with limited blood loss (500-1000 ml).
    • No postoperative deaths or local recurrences were observed in the ten patients.
    • Nine out of ten patients are alive and well 2-6 years post-surgery, with two demonstrating excellent amputee-skiing ability.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservative hemipelvectomy is a safe and effective surgical option for pelvic sarcomas.
    • This technique offers reduced trauma, preserves balance, and leads to favorable long-term functional outcomes.
