  • Title: [Complex pelvic and sarcoma surgery with vascular replacement].

    Abstract:
    Due to optimization of surgical techniques in surgical oncology and vascular surgery, the most modern approaches of anesthesia and intensive care medicine and effective multimodal therapeutic strategies, locally advanced malignant tumors are resected more frequently with a potentially curative intent. In the case of extensive tumors with infiltration of vital vascular structures or of structures which are crucial for extremity preservation, the necessary surgical procedure for complete tumor removal poses a major challenge for the surgeon and incorporates a high risk of perioperative morbidity for the patient. The decision to attempt tumor resection should therefore always be based on a concept considering all aspects of the malignant disease. The treating team should be highly experienced in this complex field of surgery, not only with respect to the surgical approach but also regarding the management of postoperative complications. In this article relevant aspects of decision making, surgical technique and postoperative outcome for malignant tumors involving vascular structures of the retroperitoneum and pelvis are presented.
