Empty pelvis syndrome as a cause of major morbidity after pelvic exenteration: validation of a core data set
The PelvEx Collaborative core data set standardizes reporting of EPS, with this study detailing the acute and chronic complications arising as a consequence. Biological mesh was associated with reduced reconstruction-related morbidity compared with perineal flaps. Further validation in additional cohorts is required to address potential confounding factors.
