Abstract

This chapter outlines a specific approach of managing patients with operable recurrent rectal cancer, highlighting the patient care pathway in pelvic exenteration. The approach is multidisciplinary, involving oncologists, stomatherapists, orthopedic surgeons, urologists, vascular surgeons, and coloproctologists. The technical challenges of these complex procedures, which are now being increasingly undertaken with a broadened set of indications, are discussed. This chapter should be read in concert with the American perspective offered in Chap. 12.
