Description
Summary:In soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities wide tumor excision (R0) has become the most important factor for local control. The tactical and technical surgical parameters are defined, which allow for diminished complication rates during tumor biopsy and definite resection. Reconstructive plastic procedures play a key role in coverage of major defects and prevention of problems due to wound infection and irradiation. If localized within the periphery of limbs, the vast majority of cases will require sophisticated techniques to achieve limb salvage.
