Product Description

The management of soft-tissue sarcoma presents unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. The optimal management mandates a multidisciplinary approach; however, reconstruction must take into account the extent of the resection and exposed vital structures, but often occurs in the setting of adjuvant treatments including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Reconstruction is based on the extent of the defect and the location of the primary tumor. As such, an evidence-based, algorithmic approach following the reconstructive ladder is warranted to minimize the risks of complications and maximize success, which varies from head and neck to torso to breast to extremity sarcomas. Aside from reconstruction of the defect, advances in the surgical treatment of lymphedema and neuropathic pain resulting from treatment and extirpation of soft-tissue sarcoma are critical to maintain function and patients’ quality of life.
