Implications of Stoma Formation as Part of Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Formation of protective stoma as part of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS–HIPEC) may be an effective tool in reducing anastomotic leak incidence. Our aim was to evaluate the incidence and implications of stoma formation during CRS–HIPEC and to examine whether a creation of protective stoma reduces the postoperative morbidity. A cohort retrospective analysis of all CRS–HIPEC procedures performed between...
