AIM: Perineal wound complications and pelvic abscesses remain a major source of morbidity after total pelvic exenteration. The void created in the pelvis after these multi-visceral resections leads to fluid accumulation and translocation of bowel within the pelvic cavity, which may increase the risk of pelvic abscess, perineal fluid discharge with perineal wound dehiscence and prolonged ileus. This study describes a novel technique using degradable synthetic mesh with overlying omentum to preclude small bowel and fill the empty space after total pelvic exenteration, and aimed to investigate the rate of pelvic abscess and perineal wound-related complications in this group.
METHOD: Ten patients who underwent total pelvic exenteration followed by implantation of degradable synthetic mesh at a quaternary referral centre were identified and included. The mesh was moulded to the contours of the bony pelvis at the level of the pubic symphysis anteriorly and inferior to the sacral promontory posteriorly. The data on the number of postoperative perineal wound-related complications including pelvic abscesses were collected.
RESULTS: There was no perioperative mortality. Five patients (50%) developed postoperative complications. One patient developed an abscess inferior to the mesh that required surgical drainage and another had a pre-sacral collection that was successfully managed conservatively. Two patients developed intra-abdominal collections requiring percutaneous drainage. Median length of stay was 20 days (range 16-35). No perineal hernia or entero-perineal fistula was detected in any patient either clinically or radiologically at a median follow-up of 7 months.
CONCLUSION: Degradable synthetic mesh reconstruction following exenterative surgery may reduce postoperative complications related to the perineal wound.
