The management of tumors that metastasize to the sacrum remains controversial. Typically, resection of such tumors and reconstruction of the lumbopelvic junction requires sacrifice of neural elements resulting in neurological dysfunction and prolonged periods of bed rest. This severely affects the quality of life in patients in whom there is frequently a limited life expectancy. The authors describe three patients who underwent subtotal resection of metastatic sacral tumors. Postoperatively, good outcome was demonstrated in all patients. The authors present a technique for debulking and reconstruction that provides immediate spinopelvic junction stability and allows for early mobilization. Quality of life is significantly improved compared with that resulting from either medical treatment or traditional surgery.
