Abstract
Total sacrectomy is a rarely used procedure to treat large sacral tumors, and postoperative rehabilitation has not been described in detail in the literature. The following case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with a large sacral chordoma who underwent multistage surgery, including total sacrectomy. The use of a lumbar-sacral corset allowed earlier functional recovery and contributed greatly to successful pain management.
