Complications after abdominal surgery and breast implant pelvic positioning: case report and literature review.

The recommended treatment for patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) or other pelvic neoplasms often comprises extensive abdominal surgery and radiation therapy (RT). The major complications of these treatments are radiation enteritis and empty pelvis syndrome, which is the displacement of bowel loops in the pelvic dead space created after the intervention. To avoid these complications, diverse methods of pelvic floor reconstruction have been attempted, one of them being the silicon breast prosthesis pelvic placement. Since literature is scarce on complications secondary to breast implant placement in the pelvis, we consider our case an unusual presentation of this entity offering the availability of novel information.
