Carcinomatosis of colorectal origin is increasingly treated by cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CS-HIPEC). This procedure commonly involves multivisceral resection (MVR) with potentially high morbidity. We analyzed the effect of MVR on the outcome after CS-HIPEC.
Multivisceral resection does not affect morbidity and survival after cytoreductive surgery and chemoperfusion for carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.
