Preoperative Radiotherapy as a Major Risk Factor for Pelvic Abscess after Abdominoperineal Resection and Total Pelvic Exenteration: A Retrospective Study
Objectives: Pelvic abscess, alongside perineal wound infection, is a major postoperative complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR) and total pelvic exenteration (TPE). Because the underlying mechanisms of these two complications differ, separate evaluation is warranted. This study aimed to identify risk factors specifically associated with pelvic abscess.
