Abstrakt: Purpose: Hemipelvectomy is a major operation in which significant portions of the pelvic girdle and lower extremity are resected. The development of hernia following hemipelvectomy is a complex surgical challenge with limited published guidelines for management. We present our experience with three cases of hernia repair following internal hemipelvectomy and review the previously described ten cases of similar patients.
Methods: A systematic review of the current literature regarding hernias in the setting of hemipelvectomy was performed. A comprehensive search strategy on MEDLINE/PUBMED database searching for the key words of hemipelvectomy and hernia was used.
Results: There were 13 reported cases of incisional hernia after hemipelvectomy. The indication for hemipelvectomy was sarcoma in 77% of cases. The median time to presentation for hernia repair was 3 years following initial resection. Mesh repair was used in 77%. Identified risk factors for the development of incisional hernia included chemoradiation, wound infection, multiple operations, and weight gain. There was one event of hernia recurrence with a mean follow-up of 16 months.
Conclusion: Hernia in the setting of hemipelvectomy is an infrequently reported problem. General principles in management are similar to all hernia repairs and include local approximation of tissues, avoidance of contamination or wound infection, and use of prosthetic mesh when local tissue is inadequate for a tension-free repair.
