Urological reconstruction after pelvic oncological surgery: A single institution experience

Careful patient selection in pelvic oncological surgeries can significantly prolong survival. Recurrent tumors and greater intraoperative blood loss are associated with higher urological complications. A limited pelvic exenteration and lower radiation doses can reduce complication rates. If higher doses are necessary, conformal techniques and hyperfractionated radiotherapy should be explored. Urological reconstruction should be individualized, according to the extensiveness of urological involvement and exposure of radiation.
