This book presents our experience in the operative treatment of
bone and soft-tissue tumors arising in and around the pelvis, from
1970 to 1999 in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the Niigata
University Medical Hospital. Histological diagnoses included both
benign and malignant tumors. Surgical plan ning was difficult to
perform in our early experience in operative treatment, when only
angiography and barium enemas were in use. In the meantime,
computed tomog raphy scanning and magnetic resonance imaging became
available. Subsequent improvement in the quality of these images
made three-dimensional surgical plan ning for pelvic tumor removal
much easier. Such progress in diagnostic methodolo gies, together
with advancements in microsurgical techniques, methods of
irradiation, and various adjuvant chemotherapies has led to
significant improvements in the treat ment of pelvic tumors.
Furthermore, these advancements were enhanced by the avail ability
of various conventional and custom-made endoprostheses, plates and
screws, spinal instruments, and external fixators made of 3161
stainless steel, titanium, high density polyethylene, and ceramics.
Because sacral tumors are so silent and symptomless, they may grow
to a large size and be difficult to excise. Removal of sacral
tumors might make subjective symptoms worse because the sacrum
contains the cauda equina. Excision of a tumor that involves the
ilium and sacroiliac joint may interrupt the structural stability
of the pelvic ring. A tumor affecting the hip joint may require
reconstruction to re-establish the func of the hip and to provide
stability for gait after operative treatment."
