Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive report. ANIMALS: Dogs and cats. METHODS: To describe patient selection and an anatomically based surgical technique for hemipelvectomy. RESULTS: Surgery of the pelvis requires detailed anatomic knowledge of the pelvic region. Hemipelvectomy is a major surgical procedure with potential for substantial hemorrhage because of transection through large muscle groups and proximity to major vessels. The anatomic dissection may enable better adherence to principles of compartmental resection of tumors and reduced patient morbidity. CONCLUSIONS:
