Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In women, an anterior pelvic exenteration refers to removal of the bladder, uterus, and ovaries, leaving the rectum in situ; posterior pelvic exenteration refers to removal of the rectum, uterus, ovaries, and posterior vaginal wall. In men, an anterior exenteration means removal of the bladder, vesicles, and prostate, but this procedure is more commonly referred to as a cystoprostatectomy. One diagnostic modality that is eminently useful in patients with tumors in the anterior pelvic area is magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion‐weighted images. Anterior pelvic exenteration in urological cancers is often referred to as radical cystoprostectomy and is performed for muscle invasive bladder cancer and T4 prostate cancer. Anterior pelvic exenteration is a comprehensive surgical procedure with a high risk of complications, reinterventions, and postoperative mortality. Anterior pelvic exenteration is a complex surgical procedure with considerable perioperative morbidity and mortality rates, but it can be beneficial in a select group of patients.
