| Core Tip |
Pelvic exenteration surgery was introduced by Brunswick in 1948 as a palliative treatment for advanced pelvic tumour, which carries high morbidity and mortality rates. However, decades of medical evolution in preoperative imaging, adjuvant therapy, better anatomical knowledge of the pelvis and modernized surgical techniques has made this procedure safe and effective for treating complex pelvic tumours. This study describes and demonstrates how our new Pelvic Exenteration Unit utilises the advantage of modern assessment and contemporary surgical techniques to achieve excellent outcomes. |
