Abstract
In the United States in the past 20 years there has been an intensive study of the role of extended pelvic surgery in the treatment of advanced or recurrent carcinoma within the pelvis. The concept of ultraradical surgery sprang up simultaneously in several different clinics but was given impetus by the publications of Brunschwig and Appleby appearing in 1948 and 1950. Brunschwig reported his initial results of pelvic exenteration in the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Appleby reported on “proctocystectomy” in the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the rectum in males. One of Appleby’s patients was a 7 year survivor of this operation, having been operated upon in 1943. My own initial excursion into this field of surgery occurred in 1940 and 1941 at the Ellis Fischel State Cancer Hospital in Columbia, Missouri, where a few patients were operated upon just before World War II. The results in these cases were not good because of poor selection of patients for the operation and because the problem of urinary diversion was not solved. These patients were never reported in the literature.
