Total pelvic exenteration for the treatment of advanced primary or recurrent pelvic neoplasia.

Introduction: Complete resection with clear margins in locally advanced pelvic visceral tumors, primary or recurrent, occasionally requires total pelvic exenteration (TPE).

Methods: We reviewed the results of EFA in 34 consecutive patients operated on between June 2006 and December 2013.

Results: Median age was 62 (40-82) years; 24 (70%) were male.

[Surgical approach to the locoregional recurrence of cancer of the rectum].

A literature review has been made on the pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer using the MedLine, Ovid, EMBASE, Cochrane and Cinahl data bases. Assessment of the locoregional recurrence must be made using imaging tests in order to rule out the presence of metastasis, as well as for locating its exact location within the pelvis. As the only curative treatment should be complete resection of the recurrence with negative margins, a pre-operative CT, NMR, endorectal ultrasound and PET-CT must be performed to determine its resectability.
