This investigation was conducted in women with small pelvic involvements. Thirty-five case reports were analyzed; treatment results were known in 33 (94.3 %) patients. The patients >> age was 55.9 (34-82) years. According to the source of the pathological process, there were 3 patient groups: gynecological, urological, and colorectal. The basic surgical procedure was anterior or total pelvic exenteration.
