ABSTRACT

Nine patients with posthemipelvectomy with subsequent delivery of 13 living children are reported in the world's literature. This radical procedure is possible only in a modern age of intensive medical and surgical support. Additional cases can be expected in the future. We present two additional patients and three children to be added to the existing experience and also provide a review of obstetric and gynecologic considerations in the care of these unusual patients.
