About Pelvic Cancer

Pelvic cancer surgery in pediatric orthopedics is a highly specialized procedure to treat malignant bone or soft tissue tumors located in the pelvic region of children and adolescents. This complex surgery involves a multidisciplinary team, including pediatric orthopedic oncologists, to achieve complete tumor removal (resection) while preserving as much function and growth potential as possible. The goal is to eradicate the cancer, which may include osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma, and reconstruct the pelvic anatomy using advanced techniques like custom implants or bone grafts. This life-saving intervention requires precise planning to balance oncologic safety with the unique considerations of a growing skeleton, aiming for long-term survival and optimal quality of life.

Key Highlights

Performed by specialized pediatric orthopedic oncologists with expertise in growing skeletons.Multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive cancer care tailored for children.Aims for complete tumor resection with maximal preservation of limb function and growth.Utilizes advanced reconstructive techniques, including custom 3D-printed implants, for optimal anatomical restoration.Focuses on long-term survival while maintaining the child's future mobility and quality of life.

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of a primary malignant bone tumor in the pelvis, such as osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma.
Localized tumor that has not widely metastasized, making surgical resection feasible.
Failure or incomplete response of the tumor to initial neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
To alleviate severe pain, pathological fracture risk, or functional impairment caused by the tumor.
As part of a curative treatment plan following detailed imaging (MRI, CT, PET scan) and biopsy confirmation.

How to prepare

Comprehensive diagnostic workup including MRI, CT scans, and a biopsy to confirm cancer type and stage.
Pre-operative chemotherapy (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink the tumor and treat micrometastases.
Detailed surgical planning using 3D imaging and models to map the tumor and plan reconstruction.
Nutritional optimization and psychological support for the child and family.
Pre-anesthetic check-up and blood tests to ensure fitness for major surgery.
Discussion of the surgical plan, risks, benefits, and possible outcomes with the family.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Oncologic risks: incomplete tumor resection, local recurrence, or distant metastasis.
Reconstructive risks: implant failure, loosening, infection, or non-union of bone grafts.
Functional risks: nerve damage leading to weakness or numbness, joint stiffness, or leg-length discrepancy.
Long-term risks: altered gait, chronic pain, or the need for future revision surgeries as the child grows.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay in a specialized pediatric oncology/orthopedic unit for pain management and monitoring.
Early mobilization with physical therapy to regain strength and prevent complications.
Wound care and monitoring for signs of infection at the surgical site.
Continuation of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation as per the oncologic treatment protocol.
Long-term, regular follow-ups with imaging (X-rays, MRI) to monitor for recurrence and implant integrity.
Ongoing physical and occupational therapy to maximize functional recovery and adapt to any physical changes.

Typical hospital stay: 10-21 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Ananya Smith, a 14-year-old competitive gymnast,...

Ananya Smith, a 14-year-old competitive gymnast, had always been the picture of health. Her life revolved around the balance beam and uneven bars. Over several months, she developed a persistent, deep ache in her right hip and groin that she initially dismissed as a training injury. When the pain became severe enough to cause a limp and night pain that woke her from sleep, her parents took her to a pediatrician. X-rays revealed a suspicious lesion in her pelvis. Referred to a pediatric orthopedic oncologist, a biopsy confirmed osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in her right iliac wing (part of the pelvic bone). The doctor recommended a limb-salvage procedure called an internal hemipelvectomy, where the cancerous section of the pelvis would be removed and reconstructed with a massive bone graft and prosthesis, sparing her leg. The complex 12-hour surgery was daunting. Ananya's treatment experience was grueling, involving not just the surgery but also months of chemotherapy. Her post-procedure recovery was long and challenging; she had to relearn how to walk with a significant limp and could never return to elite gymnastics. Emotionally, she journeyed from the devastation of losing her athletic identity and facing a life-threatening illness to discovering a fierce resilience. She found new purpose in coaching younger gymnasts and advocating for teen cancer awareness, her perspective forever changed by the experience.
