A current debate exists concerning the appropriate selection of patients for PE, with the most important factor being the absence of extrapelvic disease. Aim: To evaluate the outcome of patients submitted to exenterative surgery. Patients and methods: A review of the clinical charts of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent PE between January 1994 and June 2010 at the Institute National of Cancerolog¨ªa in Mexico City was performed. Results: We selected 59 patients, 53 of whom were females (90%), and six of whom were males (10%). Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 50 years (range, 21-77 years). A total of 51 patients underwent posterior PE (86%), and eight patients underwent total PE (14%). Operative mortality occurred in two cases (3%), and 29 patients developed complications (49%). Overall, 11 patients (19%) experienced local failure with mean disease-free survival time of 10.2 months. After a mean follow-up of 28.3 months, nine patients are still alive without evidence of the disease (15%). Conclusions: PE should be considered in advanced colorectal cancer without extrapelvic metastatic disease. PE is accompanied by considerable morbidity (49%) and mortality (3%), but local control is desirable. Overall survival justifies the use of this procedure in patients with primary or recurrent locally advanced rectal cancer. %K pelvic exenteration %K colorectal cancer %U https://www.dovepress.com/pelvic-exenteration-for-colorectal-cancer-oncologic-outcome-in-59-pati-peer-reviewed-article-CMAR
