PelvEx - Beating the Empty Pelvis Syndrome

NCT05683795 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 150

Last updated 2023-01-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The empty pelvis syndrome is an unsolved and poorly defined problem severely affecting patients that have pelvic exenteration surgery, and also the teams looking after them. It is unclear what the anatomical and pathophysiological causes of the empty pelvis syndrome are, how it can be prevented, and how its sequelae can be measured. The evidence to guide decisions around the empty pelvis syndrome is of low quality, and so there is a large amount of variation in approaches between different hospitals.

This consensus study will define a core outcome set for the empty pelvis syndrome, and establish current levels of consensus on pathophysiology and mitigation of the empty pelvis syndrome through a modified-Delphi process involving both healthcare professionals and patient representatives.
