CASE 38: Risk of fracture due to metastasis of bladder cancer to the right pelvic bone (iliac wing)
- Hits: 300
- 62-year-old male patient
- He has a history of surgery and medical treatment due to bladder cancer.
- A patient who underwent radiotherapy for metastasis to the right pelvic bone but was unsuccessful is having difficulty walking.
- Considering the patient's general condition and the risk of wound complications after internal hemipelvectomy (removal of the tumorous pelvis), reconstruction surgery was not performed.
Pre-operative examination: X-rays and MRIs show damage to the right pelvic bone and a large tumor tissue extending beyond the bone.
Surgery scene: The image shows the wound being closed after the pelvic bone was removed.
Post-operative: The X-ray shows that the right side of the pelvis was removed (internal hemipelvectomy).
