🚨 The empty pelvis syndrome: a core data set from @PelvExGroup 📑 This study aimed to define a measurable core outcome set, core descriptor set and written definition for EPS. Consensus on strategies to mitigate EPS was also explored. 👥 103 and 119 participants took part in modified Delphi and consensus meetings, respectively. This encompassed international patient and healthcare professional representation with multidisciplinary input. 🔗 Read the results of this open access study here: academic.oup.com/bjs/article… @des_winter @paulo_sutt @evanscolorectal @juliomayol

The empty pelvis syndrome: a core data set from the @PelvExGroup collaborative ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znae042 Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following #pelvicexenteration, but is undefined. The aim of this study is to facilitate the design of future research on EPS with three objectives: 1⃣ EPS core outcome set 2⃣ EPS pathophysiology 3⃣ EPS mitigation - strategies reaching consensus were: - omentoplasty - bulky myocutaneous flaps - mobilization of other structures - use of multiple techniques for pelvic filling The evidence to support these strategies is of low level, and reliant upon the expert opinion given here, or on largely retrospective studies.
