Core Tip
Core Tip: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a complex procedure with some life-threatening complications in the immediate postoperative period, reported morbidity rates between 12%-60% and a mortality rate of 0.9%-5.8%. There is an exaggerated metabolic and inflammatory response after surgery which may be termed as physiological in view of the nature of surgery combined with use of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
