Comparative Assessment of the Immediate Results after Exenteration of Pelvic Organs with Simultaneous Pelvic Floor Reconstruction in Patients with Local Extended Cervical Cancer

The study analyzed the treatment results of 141 patients with locally extended cervical cancer with T2b-4N0-1M0 stage of disease after anterior pelvic exenteration. The study compares the immediate and long-term results after anterior pelvic exenteration with and without performing the reconstructive phase of the surgery. The age of patients ranged from 32 to 61 years, the mean age was 47.1 years. The authors made a comparative assessment of postoperative complications in 62 (44%) patients after pelvic exenteration without plastic reconstruction of the pelvic floor and in 79 (56%) patients who underwent the reconstructive stage. The possibilities and advantages of pelvic floor plastic reconstruction which reduce the incidence of postoperative complications have been evaluated.
