Laparoscopic anterior pelvic exenteration with sigmoid colon resection (clinical observation)

The clinical observation demonstrates a successful surgical treatment of a 61-year-old female patient K. (body mass index 38.4) diagnosed with locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer protruded into the bladder and uterus (сT4bN2M0) with formation of a colovesical fistula. The patient underwent surgical treatment in the form of laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon and supralevator anterior pelvic exenteration with formation of a Bricker conduit. Intraoperative blood loss was 200 ml. Postoperative period was smooth, with fast track rehabilitation; the patient was discharged on day 9. Considering cancer stage, the patient received XELOX as adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 months after the surgery. During a year of follow-up, no signs of disease progression were evident. The patient is fully socially rehabilitated.
