Abstract
For a long period of time, the presence of pubic bone invasion has been considered as the sign of an unresectable lesion and therefore, the patient was further submitted to radiotherapy alone or in association with chemotherapy. Even in these conditions, during irradiation a pubo-vesical leak might develop and therefore, aggressive surgery including resection of the pubic bone might be needed. The aim of the current paper is to discuss about the indications of extended pelvic resections including pubic bone resections.
