The Importance of the Multidisciplinary Approach to Surgical Treatment of Extremity Soft-Tissue Sarcomas
2020
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS)
are rare neoplasm with frequencies around 1% of all neoplasms. Although it
consists of a high heterogeneous group of tumors, surgery is the mean
treatment. The STS surgery is still challenging and complex procedure is
usually required: this is because STS requires different types of resection and
reconstruction due to various tissue-commitments (nerve, arteries, skin and muscle). So, a
multidisciplinary team must be prepared for STS approach to obtain the maximum
local control and a limited extremity functional impairment. We, here, showing
our experience, wish to introduce some technical contrivances in STS surgery,
with special reference to tissue reconstruction. This may illustrate the
necessity of a multidisciplinary team approach in this surgery.
