Infos

This video demonstrates radical resection of an intermuscular myxoid liposarcoma of the posterior thigh in a 39-year-old patient. The tumour was compressing and displacing the sciatic nerve. The preoperative MRI strongly suggested that the tumour was arising from the patients biceps femoris muscle. Intraoperative exploration, however, showed that the tumour was actually growing from an intermuscular location, displacing the biceps femoris muscle medially. The surgical procedure included radical resection of the intermuscular tumor as well as the use of multiple muscle rotation flaps for soft-tissue closure. We used these flaps to close the defect and provide adequate soft tissue coverage for the sciatic nerve in order to minimise postoperative wound complications. The video strongly emphasises sciatic nerve dissection, mobilisation, and preservation prior to tumour removal. This reconstruction technique is a safe and reliable method for treatment of soft-tissue tumours in this location.
