Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
Pelvic reconstructive surgery can help restore function and support to the pelvis region. It restores function after cancer treatment, trauma and other serious conditions. Surgeons use tissue from the abdomen, thigh and other areas to rebuild pelvic soft tissue. They also use soft tissue (skin, muscle and fat) to restore support for surrounding tissues and organs. Our surgeons work closely with colorectal surgeons, orthopedic musculoskeletal oncologists, surgical oncologists, urologists and other specialists to create a treatment plan that is right for you.
