Risk factors for gastrointestinal perforation and anastomotic leak in patients submitted to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:107020. [PMID: 37597284 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2023.107020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal leak is one of the most feared complications after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) and harbors significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. We aim to identify risk-factors for anastomotic leak (AL) and gastrointestinal perforation (GP) to optimize postoperative outcomes of this population. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 1043 consecutive patients submitted to CRS in a single institution. Potential risk factors for AL and GP, both related to patient overall condition, disease status and surgical technique were reviewed. RESULTS Anastomotic leaks were identified in 5.2% of patients, and GPs in 7.0%. The independent risk-factors for AL were age at surgery (OR1.40; CI95% 1.10-1.79); peritoneal cancer index (PCI) (OR1.04, CI95% 1.01-1.07); Cisplatin dose >240 mg during HIPEC (OR3.53; CI95% 1.47-8.56) and the presence of colorectal (CR) or colo-colic (CC) anastomosis (OR5.09; CI95% 2.71-9.53, and 4.58; CI95% 1.22-17.24 respectively). Male gender and intraoperative red blood cell transfusions were the only independent risk factors for GP identified (OR1.70; CI95% 1.04-2.78 and 1.06; CI95% 1.01-1.12, respectively). Regarding 30-day and 90-day postoperative mortality, independent risk-factors were mainly related to patient's overall condition. CONCLUSION Gastrointestinal leaks are a frequent source of postoperative morbidity, mainly at the expense of GP. A careful and systematic intraoperative revision of all potential gastrointestinal injuries is equally critical to perfecting anastomotic fashioning techniques to decrease gastrointestinal complication rates. We identified multiple risk-factors for AL and GP related to disease status and patient condition. Our study suggests that patient-related conditions are of paramount relevance, highlighting the importance of patient selection and preoperative patient optimization.

Pelvic Peritonectomy Poorly Affects Outcomes in Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Colorectal Metastases. J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 27:131-140. [PMID: 36327025 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-022-05501-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Constraints of pelvic anatomy render complete cytoreduction (CRS) challenging. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of pelvic peritonectomy during CRS/HIPEC on colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CRPM) patients' outcomes. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained CRS/hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) database. The analysis included 217 patients with CRPM who had a CRS/HIPEC between 2014 and 2021. We compared perioperative and oncological outcomes of patients with pelvic peritonectomy (PP) (n = 63) to no pelvic peritonectomy (non-PP) (n = 154). RESULTS No differences in demographics were identified. The peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was higher in the PP group with a median PCI of 12 vs. 6 in the non-PP group (p < 0.001). Operative time was 4.9 vs. 4.3 h in the PP and non-PP groups, respectively (p = 0.63). Median hospitalization was longer in the PP group at 12 vs. 10 days (p = 0.007), and the rate of complications were higher in the PP group at 57.1% vs. 39.6% (p = 0.018). Pelvic peritonectomy was associated with worse disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) with 3-year DFS and OS of 7.3 and 46.3% in the PP group vs. 28.2 and 87.8% in the non-PP group (p = 0.028, p .> 0.001). The univariate OS analysis identified higher PCI (p = 0.05), longer surgery duration (p = 0.02), and pelvic peritonectomy (p < 0.001) with worse OS. Pelvic peritonectomy remained an independent prognostic variable, irrespective of PCI, on the multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Pelvic peritonectomy at the time of CRS/HIPEC is associated with higher morbidity and worse oncological outcomes. These findings should be taken into consideration in the management of patients with pelvic involvement.

Abstract
Background Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) produces unwanted side-effects that are mainly caused by chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and these effects have not been systematically summarized. The aim of this article was to provide a comprehensive overview of the side-effects of HIPEC for GI cancers and propose practical strategies for adverse event management. Methodology PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for side-effects of HIPEC in GI cancers prior to October 20, 2022. A total of 79 articles were included in this review. Results Adverse events, such as enterocutaneous digestive fistulas, GI tract perforation, neutropenia, postoperative bleeding, ventricular tachycardia, hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, renal impairment, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, scrotal ulceration, and sarcopenia were described, and their clinical management was discussed. These side-effects involve the digestive, hematopoietic, circulatory, metabolic, and urinary systems. Effective methods for adverse event management included an expert multidisciplinary team, replacing chemotherapy drugs, using Chinese medicine, and careful preoperative assessments. Conclusion The side-effects of HIPEC are frequent and can be minimized by several effective methods. This study proposes practical strategies for adverse event management of HIPEC to assist physicians in choosing the optimal treatment method.

Eur J Surg Oncol 2022; 48:2460-2466. [PMID: 36096855 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2022.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery is well-researched, yet the effect of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) after Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) is unclear. Assessment of risk factors in these patients may assist surgeons during perioperative decision making. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective study of patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC for colorectal peritoneal metastases. Main outcome measures were anastomotic leakage and associated morbidity. RESULTS AL was observed in 17 of the 234 (7.3%) anastomoses in 17 of the total of 165 (10.3%) of patients. No association was observed between the number and location of anastomoses and AL, although only one in 87 small bowel anastomoses showed leakage. The only factor associated with AL was administration of bevacizumab within 60 days prior to surgery with an odds ratio (OR) of 6.13 (1.32-28.39), P = 0.03. Deviating stomata were not statistically protective of increased morbidity, although more AL occurred in the patients with colocolic and colorectal anastomoses when no concomitant deviating stoma was created. Deviation stomata were reversed in 52.6%, and no AL was observed after stoma reversal. CONCLUSION The overall AL rate of CRS-HIPEC is comparable to colorectal surgery, and there is no cumulative risk of multiple anastomoses - especially in the case of small bowel anastomoses. Deviating stomata should be considered in patients with colocolic or colorectal anastomosis, although there is a significant chance that the stoma will not be reversed in these patients. Due to increased AL-risk surgeons should be aware of previous bevacizumab treatment, and plan the CRS-HIPEC at least 60 days after the treatment-day.

Natural History and Management of Small-Bowel Obstruction in Patients After Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Ann Surg Oncol 2022; 29:8566-8579.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-bowel obstruction (SBO) after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is a common complication associated with re-admission that may alter patients' outcomes. Our aim was to characterize and investigate the impact of bowel obstruction on patients' prognosis. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of patients with SBO after CRS/HIPEC (n = 392). We analyzed patients' demographics, operative and perioperative details, SBO re-admission data, and long-term oncological outcomes. RESULTS Out of 366 patients, 73 (19.9%) were re-admitted with SBO. The cause was adhesive in 42 (57.5%) and malignant (MBO) in 31 (42.5%). The median time to obstruction was 7.7 months (range, 0.5-60.9). Surgical intervention was required in 21/73 (28.7%) patients. Obstruction eventually resolved (spontaneous or by surgical intervention) in 56/73 (76.7%) patients. Univariant analysis identified intraperitoneal chemotherapy agents: mitomycin C (MMC) (HR 3.2, p = 0.003), cisplatin (HR 0.3, p = 0.03), and doxorubicin (HR 0.25, p = 0.018) to be associated with obstruction-free survival (OFS). Postoperative complications such as surgical site infection (SSI), (HR 2.2, p = 0.001) and collection (HR 2.07, p = 0.015) were associated with worse OFS. Multivariate analysis maintained MMC (HR 2.9, p = 0.006), SSI (HR 1.19, p = 0.001), and intra-abdominal collection (HR 2.19, p = 0.009) as independently associated with OFS. While disease-free survival was similar between the groups, overall survival (OS) was better in the non-obstruction group compared with the obstruction group (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS SBO after CRS/HIPEC is common and complex in management. Although conservative management was successful in most patients, surgery was required more frequently in patients with MBO. Patients with SBO demonstrate decreased survival.
