Abstract

Pelvic exenteration is a major surgical procedure which, in the paediatric population, most commonly is associated with genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (GU-RMS). Initially surgical resection was the only option in treatment of GU-RMS, but advances in treatment including a combination of radiation, polychemotherapy and surgery have led to improved survival rates. Today organ preservation strategies are often possible. However, when disease is refractory to initial treatment or as a salvage procedure, pelvic exenteration is a good option with defendable survival rates [1].
