{"title":"Outcomes of internal hemipelvectomy for pelvic tumors: a developing country's prospective.","authors":"Masood Umer,&nbsp;Moiz Ali,&nbsp;Rizwan H Rashid,&nbsp;Yasir Mohib,&nbsp;Haroon U Rashid","doi":"10.1097/IJ9.0000000000000007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/IJ9.0000000000000007","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Previously, external hemipelvectomy was the mainstay of treatment for pelvic tumors. However, with technological advancements, limb salvage procedures such as internal hemipelvectomy have emerged as a viable alternative. However, there is limited literature available on long-term outcomes and complications of internal hemipelvectomy, especially from developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to share our experience of internal hemipelvectomy at a tertiary care center in a developing country.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>A retrospective review was conducted in which all 24 patients undergoing internal hemipelvectomy from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2015 at our institution were included. Medical record files were reviewed for intraoperative and early and late postoperative complications, and functional outcomes were assessed by contacting each patient on telephone.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Ewing sarcoma was found to be the most common diagnosis, followed by osteosarcoma as the second most common. The mean follow-up period was 18.7±13.9 months. Intraoperatively there were 4 cases of iatrogenic neurovascular injury and 2 cases each of urinary tract injury and dural tear. Four patients developed early wound infections, 7 developed late wound infections, and 2 developed flap necrosis. Three patients developed recurrence, whereas 7 patients developed metastasis postoperatively. The mean survival was calculated to be 28 months and the mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 19.3±5.2.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Outcomes and prevalence of complications shown in this study are comparable to those in the international literature, which suggests that hemipelvectomy is a viable option in developing countries also. However, more such studies are warranted to validate the findings and to identify the challenges and morbidities associated with hemipelvectomy in Asian and developing countries.</p>","PeriodicalId":42930,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery-Oncology","volume":"2 4","pages":"e07"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/IJ9.0000000000000007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35655189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
