We describe the case of a 47‐year‐old man with severe pelvic trauma, in whom severe open pelvic fractures with blood vessel damage were treated by first performing fast and reliable hemostasis and then carrying out comprehensive hemicorporectomy. Based on our experience, hemicorporectomy might be the only treatment option in patients with severe pelvic injury when there are no reconstruction options.
