  ABSTRACT: We describe our experience with exenterative pelvic surgery for colorectal cancer in a small community hospital. We retrospectively evaluated 26 consecutive patients (14 women) with locally advanced (n=16) or recurrent (n=10) colorectal adenocarcinomas who underwent pelvic exenterations between August 1990 and December 2001 in our service. Seventeen patients had posterior pelvic exenteration (PPE), eight had total pelvic exenteration (TPE) and one had TPE with internal hemipelvectomy. Major morbidity occurred in 12 patients (46%), causing 3 deaths (11%) in the immediate postoperative period. Fourteen of 23 patients who survived the immediate postoperative period have relapsed (61%). At a median follow-up of 42 months, the 5-year survival is 38%. Pelvic exenterative procedures can be offered to patients with bulky or recurrent colorectal carcinomas with adequate results and satisfactory palliation, even in a community setting.
