Introduction: Resection of malignant pelvic tumors has long been considered to be associated with higher postoperative mortality and morbidity than resection of malignant limb tumors. We compared the postoperative adverse events of pelvic tumor surgery and limb tumor surgery using a national inpatient database. Methods: We identified patients who underwent surgery for primary musculoskeletal malignant tumors of the pelvis or limbs between July and December in 2007- 2010 using the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database. We calculated the risk-adjusted odds ratio for the occurrence of postoperative complications following pelvic tumor surgery with reference to limb tumor surgery using a multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: Of 3255 eligible patients, 3116 underwent limb tumor surgery and 139 underwent pelvic tumor surgery. In-hospital mortality was 0.6% and 0.7% and postoperative complication rates were 8.2% and 18.7%, respectively. The rate of blood transfusion and duration of anesthesia over 480 min were higher in the pelvic tumor group. Blood transfusion volume and duration of anesthesia were independently associated with worse outcomes, but there was no significant association between tumor location and occurrence of postoperative complications (odds ratio 1.18, 95% confidence interval 0.73 - 1.88, p = 0.502). Conclusions: Blood transfusion volume and duration of anesthesia were significant predictors of outcome. Our data demonstrate that the higher morbidity rate after pelvic tumor resection could result from the larger blood transfusion volume and longer anesthesia duration.
