ABSTRACT
Hemicorporectomy is the amputation of the lower body - pelvis and lower limbs. It requires transection of the spine and dural sac at the level of aortic bifurcation and inferior lower vein, and permanent urinary and stool derivation. Performance indications are tumour trauma and terminal pelvic osteomyelitis. So far about 60 cases have been published; only 11 operations were performed for terminal osteomyelitis. We have successfully performed hemicorporectomy in a patient with chronic sepsis from terminal pelvic osteomyelitis after exhausting all other treatment options. The experience gained and the important moments of the procedure are given in the case report.
