Management and retrospective analysis of primary and metastatic sacral tumors and infections: evaluation with 73 cases.

CONCLUSION: Because of the high complication rates in malign sacral tumors, we should perform wide resections with partial or total sacrectomy. Chordoma and chondrosarcoma patients should be screened closely due to a possible recurrence risk after sacrectomy while preserving the nerve roots as possible. Aggressive curettage should be combined with adjuvant methods in benign lesions due to high recurrence rates in sacral localization. PMID: 25413456 [PubMed - in process]
