Objective To study the trans-bladder operative approach in resection of the complicated pelvic tumors with bladder invasion.Methods Twelve patients with complicated pelvic tumors were analyzed from Oct.2007 to Oct.2010.There were 8 males and 4 females.Patient's age was ranging from 35 to 65 years.There were 3 patients with tumor diameter from 10 to 16 cm and 9 patients with tumor diameter greater than 16 cm.All the tumors were located in the pelvic and the stage of all tumors was T4N0M0.The technology of trans-bladder to approach the lower edge of the pelvic tumor and then retrograde up to remove the tumor out of the presacral tissue,pelvic wall,and pelvic organ was applied.The length of hospital stay,operative time,blood loss,death during peri-operative period and the post-operative survival were analyzed retrospectively.Results The median operative time was 126 (110-150) min.The median blood loss was 521 (300-1200) ml.The median hospital stay was 22 (14-28) d.No patient died after surgery.Ten patients were followed up for 6 to 48 months.Three cases died of metastasis or recurrence.Conclusion With the trans-bladder operative approach,the resection of pelvic retroperitoneal tumors is effective and safe.

Objective:To explore the causes and therapeutic effects of pelvic pain caused by rectal fistula or bladder fistula after comprehensive treatment of cervical cancer and rectal cancer (radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatments).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of patients with pelvic tumors admitted to the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan City, Ningxia and the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2022. The causes of persistent pelvic pain in patients after comprehensive treatment was investigated, and the corresponding therapeutic effects after clinical treatment was observed.Results:Thirty-two tumor patients experienced persistent pain after comprehensive treatment, including 22 cases of cervical cancer and 10 cases of rectal cancer. The preoperative pain of the entire group of patients was evaluated using the digital grading method, with a pain score of (7.88±1.31) points. Among the 32 patients, there were 16 cases of rectovaginal fistula or ileovaginal fistula, 9 cases of vesicovaginal fistula, 5 cases of rectoperineal fistula, and 2 cases of vesicovaginorectal fistula. Thirty-two patients were initially treated with medication to relieve pain, and according to the ruptured organs, a fistula was made to the corresponding proximal intestinal canal and renal pelvis to intercept the intestinal contents and urine. However, the pain did not significantly be improved. The pain score of treatment with the above methods for one week was (8.13±1.13) points, and there was no statistically significant difference compared to preoperative treatment ( P=0.417). In the later stage, based on a comprehensive evaluation of whether the tumor had recurred, the value of organ preservation, the benefits of surgery, the balance between survival time and improving quality of life, pathological organ resection or repair was performed. The surgical methods included repair of leaks, local debridement combined with irrigation of proximal intestinal fluid, distal closure of the sigmoid colon combined with proximal ostomy, posterior pelvic organ resection, anterior pelvic organ resection, and total pelvic organ resection. One week after surgery, the patients' pain completely relieved or disappeared, with the pain score of (1.72±1.37) points, which was significantly divergent from the preoperative and initial surgical treatments ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Palliative pyelostomy and proximal enterostomy cannot effectively alleviate persistent pelvic floor pain. The fundamental way to alleviate pain is complete blocking of the inflammatory erosion of the intestinal fluid and urine.
