Abstract
Although the incidence of locally recurrent colorectal cancer has been reduced by improved surgical techniques and the frequent use of multimodality therapy, pelvic recurrence remains a significant problem. Radiation or chemotherapy may provide palliation but it is often short-lived. For fit candida...

Abstract
The study comprised 41 patients. The underlying disease was a malignant pelvic tumor in 30 patients (primary in 6 and recurrent in 24 patients) and a nonmalignant disease in 11 patients. Surgical mortality was 2.4%, and the postoperative morbidity rate was 65.9%. Double-barreled wet colostomy-relate...

Abstract
We diagnosed pelvic tumor, bladder cancer (adenocarcinoma) and sigmoid colon cancer. We performed a first operation, but the pelvic tumor was firmly fixed anterior to the sacrum and right common pelvic artery. We judged it unresectable and performed tumor biopsy and ileostomy. The pathological findi...

Abstract
We analyzed retrospectively the outcome of 15 patients treated with pelvic exenteration (nine total and six anterior) for gynecological cancer (six vaginal, four endometrial, three cervical, one vulvar, and one ovarian) from 1987 through 2008. Four operations were for primary tumors and 11 for recur...

Abstract
We describe a novel reconstruction technique of the pelvic floor, involving a combination of an oblique rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and a synthetic absorbable mesh as a pelvic sling for additional support, in a 63-year-old female patient with recurrent vulvar carcinoma. Combining the use of m...

Local recurrence (LR) after curative surgery for rectal cancer occurs in 4 to 33% of cases especially if surgery is sub-optimal (without total excision of the mesorectum). In many cases, diagnosis of LR is made at a late stage because of the high rate of asymptomatic patients, 56% in the experience...
