Safe Anastomoses without Ostomies in Cytoreductive Surgery with Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Technical Considerations and Modifications

The Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Anastomotic Leak After Cytoreduction with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

“…[3,4] Gastrointestinal anastomotic leak (GAL) is one of the most dreadful complication with reported rates of 8-12% in the literature. [5][6][7][8][9][10] The effect of HIPEC on anastomosis and the predictive factors for GAL has not been wellestablished yet.
