Abstract

A central element of modern sarcoma therapy is complete surgical tumor resection with an adequate safety margin, embedded in an interdisciplinary multimodal therapy concept. Along with ensuring patient survival, functional limb preservation is an important goal for sarcomas of the extremities. This review provides an overview of the relevant literature on indications and goals of reconstructive options, the scope and contribution of microsurgical reconstructive procedures, and the associated interdisciplinary decision making and workup. Furthermore, the impact of (neo)-adjuvant therapy on reconstructive decisions will be highlighted. These aspects will be illustrated by four comprehensive case studies that demonstrate both useful strategies and the need for individually tailored therapies. Nowadays, extremity-preserving therapy is possible in more than 90% of sarcomas. Technical and procedural innovations such as microsurgery and microsurgical reconstructive procedures have significantly contributed to this evolution of therapy.
