Abstract

The abdominoinguinal incision is a new method for exposure and resection of tumors in the pelvis with lateral fixation that were previously called unresectable or were treated with hemipelvectomy. This procedure has been used in 22 patients referred from other centers following unsuccessful resection attempts. Twelve patients had been proposed for hemipelvectomy. The abdominoinguinal approach has a limb‐salvaging function and is bound to increase the rate of resectability of tumors in this area. Copyright © 1984 American Cancer Society
