Identification of a Subgroup of Patients at Highest Risk for Complications After Surgical Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

In Brief Objective: To assess the influence of parietal and visceral peritonectomy procedures on moderate/severe morbidity in patients undergoing surgical cytoreducion and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and to identify subgroups of patients at highest operative risk. Background: Cytoreducion with HIPEC is an effective but potentially morbid treatment option for peritoneal surface malignancies. Although complication rates have...
