Prevention of radiation enteritis by intrapelvic breast prosthesis

J J Tuech et al. Eur J Surg Oncol. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Pelvic malignancies frequently require post-operative radiation therapy that may induce small bowel damage at an incidence of 5-25%. Various surgical techniques have been reported to prevent acute and chronic radiation enteritis. This article describes the technical aspects of pelvic exclusion by an intrapelvic silicone breast prosthesis.
