Episode Synopsis

The surgical management of superficial soft tissue sarcoma require a multidisciplinary surgical team given the defect and reconstruction required from an extended resection to achieve negative margins. This team most often includes the primary surgeon (surgical oncology or orthopedic oncology) and a plastic surgeon.  A critical decision in the treatment plan is whether or not to reconstruct immediately at the index operation or delay final reconstruction pending pathologic assessment of margins.  In this podcast, we will focus on the multidisciplinary surgical approach for superficial sarcoma. We will highlight the role of delayed reconstruction and key clinical considerations in this approach.
