Popis: We present four patients who developed posthemipelvectomy hernias. Identified etiologic factors include infection at the time of hemipelvectomy, radiation therapy, and excessive weight gain. Two patients were reconstructed using local tissues, and two required prosthetic materials. There were no hernia recurrences, although two patients died of recurrent cancer.
