AbstractPelvic exenteration remains one of the most aggressive gynecological surgical procedures performed for patients with locally-invasive cervical cancer, usually performed with curative intent. However, there exist patients who present in a very advanced stage of the disease, in which only a palliative surgical procedure can be performed. Although in these cases the survival benefit is minimal, performing a pelvic exenteration significantly improves the quality of life. We present the case of a 63-year-old female who was submitted to palliative pelvic exenteration for a locally invasive recurrence in the left sciatic foramen after surgically-treated cervical cancer.
