Video Summary
A surgical oncologist discusses his experiences with total pelvic exenteration, a complex cancer surgery for advanced pelvic cancers. Historically, this involved multiple stomas (openings for waste removal) affecting patient morale despite potential curative effects. Introducing a double-barrel wet colostomy has improved outcomes by combining urinary and fecal diversions into one stoma, enhancing patient acceptance and morale. The procedure, however, remains rare due to strict indications. Thanks to a supportive multidisciplinary team, newer methods have reduced complications, improved recovery, and fostered positive psychosocial outcomes in patients.
