ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Case report.OBJECTIVES:
To report a case of recurrent sacral chordoma treated with total sacrectomy and spinopelvic reconstruction. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW Sacral chordoma is a musculoskeletal tumor reported to have a low incidence. Surgical treatment is considered difficult due to the complicated sacropelvic structure, so the prognosis for patients with sacral chordoma has been considered poor. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We report a surgical technique and outcomes from spinopelvic reconstruction with femoral allograft and vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap after total sacrectomy.RESULTS:
We report no tumor recurrence at 43 months postoperatively.CONCLUSIONS:
Spinopelvic reconstruction with thorough surgical planning after total sacrectomy was found to be a safe and effective treatment method.
