Saving Limbs After Cancer: Blood Vessel and Soft Tissue Reconstruction Following Sarcoma Surgery in the Legs

European Georges Pompidou Hospital16 enrolled

Overview

This study aimed to evaluate whether immediate reconstruction of blood vessels and soft tissues can safely and effectively preserve limbs in patients undergoing surgery for sarcomas involving major arteries or veins in the arms or legs. The goal was to determine if this complex surgical approach helps avoid amputation, ensures good cancer control, and leads to acceptable complication rates and healing outcomes.
