Аннотация:Introduction: Despite the advances of medical, surgical and radiation
oncology local recurrences are very often in pelvic tumors due to
difficulties of radical resection and achieving of negative margin.
Aim: to analyze results of resection of pelvic bone tumors using
image- guided computer navigation system.
Material and methods: Since 2010 twenty nine resections were
performed in patients with pelvic bone tumors with assistance of
image- guided computer navigation system. There were 17 male and
12 female. Average age was 58 years (range26-74). In 19 cases
tumors were located in pelvic bones, in 5 cases - in sacrum, in 5
cases - in sacroiliac joint. The most commonly found tumor was
chondrosarcoma (19 cases). Three renal cancer mts , three
chordoma, three Ewing sarcoma and one osteosarcoma were also
found. Preoperative MRI and CT and 3D-views of the bone were
performed each patient. Reconstructed images allowed preoperative surgical planning. The plane of tumor resection was
defined and marked along the margin of the planned resection.
Results: The mean time for intra-operative navigation procedure was
23 min (range12-47). The mean registration error was 1.1 mm
(range 0,7-1,6mm). There were no intra-operative complication.
Histological examination of all resected specimens showed a
negative tumor margin. All patients were followed up from 6 to 48
mounts. There no recurrence in all cases, four patients died from
distant metastasis. Conclusion: Resection of pelvic bone tumors
using computer-guided navigation system allows to accurately
determine lines of resection comparing with preoperative planning
and to achieve negative margins.
