Internal hemipelvectomy is a safe surgical method in the resection of pelvic sarcomas, although it has high complication rates. We aimed to evaluate the complications and functional outcomes of internal hemipelvectomy for malignant pelvic tumors. We also sought to determine the reconstruction strategies used and to identify factors influencing success rates.
