En bloc resection of the sciatic nerve with an adjacent bone or soft tissue tumor has been assumed to be associated with a poor functional outcome and, therefore, was considered an indication for amputation. Although many surgical oncologists today challenge this assumption and do limb-sparing resection in these patients, a report of the functional outcome of a series of patients who had this procedure has not been published. Between 1991 and 1999, the authors treated 15 patients who had…

Epineural Dissection Is a Safe Technique That Facilitates Limb Salvage Surgery

It is concluded that epineural dissection (when combined with radiotherapy in a planned multidisciplinary approach to limb salvage) is both a safe and effective procedure to preserve the sciatic nerve and that nerve resection should be limited to situations where the nerve is completely encased in tumor.

For the situation in which postoperative function is already expected to be compromised due to vascular, bone, or extensive soft tissue resection, nerve resection may be the ultimate deciding factor in recommending amputation rather than limb salvage.
