The impact of postoperative complications following cytoreductive surgery combined with oxaliplatin based heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy
(2022) In European Journal of Surgical Oncology 48(1). p.183-187- Abstract
Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) has become the mainstream treatment for peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin. This extensive treatment is known for its increased morbidity rate. In this study, the impact of postoperative complications on survival was evaluated in a high-volume centre. Patients and method: Between November 2016 through October 2018, all 106 patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin treated with CRS + HIPEC with oxaliplatin were evaluated. Data on patient characteristics, Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI), operative procedure, post-operative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade III or higher) and survival were collected....

Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) has become the mainstream treatment for peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin. This extensive treatment is known for its increased morbidity rate. In this study, the impact of postoperative complications on survival was evaluated in a high-volume centre. Patients and method: Between November 2016 through October 2018, all 106 patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin treated with CRS + HIPEC with oxaliplatin were evaluated. Data on patient characteristics, Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI), operative procedure, post-operative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade III or higher) and survival were collected. In-hospital postoperative complications were analysed for their association with patient characteristics, tumour load (PCI), and operative procedure with logistic regression analyses. Survival was analysed with the Cox regression analysis. Results: Of 106 patients, 78% had an un-eventful in-hospital recovery. Of those patients who experienced complications, 52% patients had one complication and 48% had more than one. The median follow-up time was 33.8 months. Median survival was 22.4 months (95% CI 12.2–NR) for patients who experienced complications and not reached for those who did not. Survival was significantly associated with complications (HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2–4.0) as well as with PCI (HR 1.1, 95% CI 1.1–1.2) in univariate analyses. A stepwise Cox regression analysis showed both PCI and complications had an independent negative impact on survival. Conclusion: Postoperative complications, independently of tumour load, led to reduced survival in patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin when treated with CRS + HIPEC with oxaliplatin.
