Removal of the lower extremity with half of the pelvis (amputatio interileo-abdominalis)

Abstract

For the first time Billroth performed this enormous operation in terms of the size of the injury inflicted in 1889; his patient died, and the case remained undescribed. Then Jaboulay operated on two patients who died in the first days after the operation, and was the first to make a report in the literature on this subject. The first surgeon to perform this operation, for sarcoma of the hip, with a happy immediate outcome, was Girard, whose patient lived six months and died of metastasis in the lungs.
