A series of 28 exenterations for advanced pelvic tumours is presented. The operative mortality (within 90 days) was 17.8%. The actuarial survival (expressed as a two-year disease-free interval) was 35.7%, and better in cases with negative lymph nodes. The types of urinary and bowel diversions adopted are discussed in terms of longer survival.
