Hemicorporectomy, or translumbar amputation, is a dramatically drastic surgical salvage procedure for patients with uncontrolled locally extensive pelvic-perineal malignancies. We present a rare case of hemicorporectomy in a 53-year-old patient with terminal pelvic osteomyelitis which occurred after he suffered a gunshot wound at T6 causing Hemipelvectomy and hemicorporectomy are morbid, uncommon procedures 1,2 that result in dramatic physiological and soft tissue changes.
