Walking ability may be fairly well maintained after sciatic nerve resection combined with wide resection of soft tissue sarcoma, therefore, surgeons should not hesitate to perform sciatic nerve resection to achieve an adequate surgical margin.

Keywords: limb function; sciatic nerve resection; soft tissue sarcoma; walking ability; wide resection.
