Abstract
Generalization of laparoscopic pelvic surgery has brought about profound knowledge of the pelvic anatomy and has encouraged expansion of indications for laparoscopic surgery to extended pelvic surgery. Pelvic exenteration (PE) is still a demanding surgical procedure and remains an essential technique for pelvic surgery although minimally invasive and function-preserving surgery is in the mainstream of surgical treatment. However, the techniques of laparoscopic PE (LPE) have been rarely explained nor has its feasibility been fully evaluated. The aim of this study was to describe important technical points and to assess the feasibility of LPE for pelvic malignancies.Keywords
