“Complex abdominopelvic surgery (CAPS) includes a wide variety of difficulties related to primary disease and hostile intrapelvic environment. Any radical abdominopelvic operation which is not standardized is complex. Hence, radical oncologic operations for the primary advanced or recurrent carcinoma of pelvic organs, revisional operations for failed restorative operations for maintaining intestinal continuity are considered as CAPS.”

“Postoperative morbidity related to major pelvic hemorrhage can be reduced by optimizing the risk factors.
