The management of recurrent cervical cancer depends mainly on previous treatment as well as on the site and extent of recurrence. Pelvic exenteration usually represents the only therapeutic approach with curative intent for women with central pelvic relapse who have previously received irradiation. In the present report, we share our experience regarding survival outcome in a patient with recurrent endocervical carcinoma who underwent total pelvic exenteration.

Background: The treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer has evolved dramatically in recent decades. As the boundaries of exenterative surgery continue to be pushed, one of the unanswered and controversial questions is the role of radical salvage surgery for locally recurrent rectal cancer in the setting of oligometastatic disease.

Objective: To investigate the impact of synchronous or previously treated distant metastases on survival following pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer.

Anterior exenteration is a radical surgical option for treating locally advanced pelvic malignancies when alternative treatments are deemed ineffective or inappropriate. Due to its nature as an ablative treatment, interference with supportive structures of the pelvic floor can result in pelvic organ prolapse. A 70-year-old woman presented with prolapse after radical cystectomy and following two unsuccessful attempts at Le Fort colpocleisis, the second of which was further complicated by rupture of the vaginal cuff.

Despite the widespread use of perirectal spacers to reduce radiation-induced rectal toxicity during prostate cancer treatment, postmarketing data reveal rare but significant complications. This case report details a severe complication of rectourethral fistula necessitating robotic pelvic exenteration with urinary and faecal diversion following perirectal spacer placement. Although SpaceOAR has been shown to reduce rectal radiation dose, the ensuing clinical benefit remains inconclusive in real-world data.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines urological complications in patients who underwent total pelvic exenteration (TPE) for locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer, highlighting a significant occurrence of issues post-surgery.
  • A total of 128 patients were assessed, with common complications being transient acute kidney injury and urinary tract infections, resulting in an overall complication rate of 51.6%.
  • The findings indicate that the type of cancer (LARC vs RRC) and prior radiation treatment did not significantly influence the rates of urological complications.
