Abstract

We describe the case of a Jehovah's witness patient undergoing pelvic exenteration for recurrent endometrial carcinoma, focusing on the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative measures that allowed uncomplicated surgeries. Our case shows that pelvic exenteration is feasible in patients refusing blood products, if performed with a multidisciplinary team and careful planning.
