    Author: Shiromizu K, Ogawa M, Kotake K, Koyama Y, Nakazono M, Hirao K.
    Journal: Jpn J Clin Oncol; 1989 Jun; 19(2):170-2. PubMed ID: 2733172.
    Abstract:
    Although total pelvic exenteration is performed for central recurrent or persistent uterine cervical carcinoma, the patient is damaged both physiologically and psychologically by its massive surgical procedure and complications as well as the loss of the vagina. Vaginal reconstruction at the time of surgery brings much advantageous satisfaction to the patient's future life and a strong bond with her husband. Furthermore, a new reconstructed vagina occuping the pelvic cavity prevents intestinal herniation and is available for bimanual examination in the follow-up to surgery. A case of recurrent cervical carcinoma is presented, with reconstruction of the vagina and conduit using the sigmoid colon in total pelvic exenteration.
