Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing PE at our trust October 2017 and December 2023 was conducted. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were employed. Results: Sixty-seven patients underwent PE during the study period, mainly for locally advanced colorectal cancer (n=61, 91.04%). Minimally invasive surgery was performed in 16 cases (Robotic 3, 4.47% / Laparoscopic 13, 19.40) while the rest of patients 51 had open surgery (75.11%). Median hospital stay was 12 days (range:8-20). While 24 patients (35.82%) developed major complications (CD III-IV) post-surgery, there were no mortalities associated with pelvic exenteration in this study. Of the 67 patients undergoing surgery with curative intent, negative margins (R0 resection) were achieved in 57 patients (85.12%). This is comparable to outcomes reported by the PelvEx collaborative (85.07% versus 79.8%). At a median follow-up of 22 months, 15 patient (22.38%) recurred with 10.44% local recurrence rate. The 2 years overall and disease-free survival were 85.31% and 77.0.36%, respectively. Conclusion: Our study suggests that a nascent PE service, supported by specialist expertise and resources, can achieve good surgical outcomes within a district general hospital.
