  ABSTRACT: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare neoplasm with frequencies around 1% of all neoplasms. Although it consists of a high heterogeneous group of tumors, surgery is the mean treatment. The STS surgery is still challenging and complex procedure is usually required: this is because STS requires different types of resection and reconstruction due to various tissue-commitments (nerve, arteries, skin and muscle). So, a multidisciplinary team must be prepared for STS approach to obtain the maximum local control and a limited extremity functional impairment. We, here, showing our experience, wish to introduce some technical contrivances in STS surgery, with special reference to tissue reconstruction. This may illustrate the necessity of a multidisciplinary team approach in this surgery.
