AB Insights  in  the  topology  of  locoregional  tumor  spread  from  developmental  biology  call  for  redefining  the  principles  of  cancer  surgery.1  Surgical  procedures  translating  these  concepts  into  practice  have  achieved  excellent  locoregional  tumor  control  at  low  rates  of  treatment-related  morbidity.2,3,4,5  The  corresponding  surgical  techniques  for  the  therapy  of  locally  advanced  and  recurrent  cancer  of  the  lower  female  genital  tract  are  termed  (laterally)  extended  endopelvic  resection  ([L]EER).6  (L)EER  enables  R0  resection  and  locoregional  tumor  control  not  only  in  patients  who  are  regarded  as  suitable  candidates  for  conventional  pelvic  exenteration  but  also  in  patients  with  tumors  fixed  to  the  pelvic  sidewall  who  are  currently  excluded  from  exenteration  candidacy  either  pre-  or  intraoperatively.7
