Partial replacement in polynomials

Posted 11 hours ago
pol = -1 + (x - x0)^2/a^2 + (2 (x - x0) x0)/a^2 + x0^2/
  a^2 + (y - y0)^2/b^2 + (2 (y - y0) y0)/b^2 + y0^2/b^2

For the polynomial above, there is a relation:

rel = x0^2/a^2 + y0^2/b^2 == 1

How can I use this relation rel to replace the three terms x0^2/a^2 + y0^2/b^2 - 1 in the polynomial pol with 0, while keeping the other terms unchanged, to obtain the following final result:

(x - x0)^2/a^2 + (2 (x - x0) x0)/a^2 + (y - y0)^2/b^2 + (
 2 (y - y0) y0)/b^2
