Overview

Pelvic exenteration is one of the most extensive oncogynaecologic procedure. Beside it´s significant morbidity and mortality, pelvic exenteration has in certain indications often no other therapeutic option. Procedure enables very good overall survival for women with recurrent gynacologic malignancies. Important factor for these patients is not only survival itself but also high quality of life including sexuality. Psychosexual counselling is therefore essential not only before operation but also during follow up.

Key words:
pelvic exenteration – psychosexual counselling – sexuality
