1839P Infectious complications post-cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: A meta-analysis

Abstract

The intraoperative administration of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy is a novel treatment strategy that tries to provide similar therapeutic effects while avoiding some of the limitations of traditional treatment. The purpose of this analysis is to systemically review the available clinical studies to determine the infection rates postoperatively as complication of HIPEC with CRS procedure. As there are currently evolving guidelines for clinical application of this intervention this study helps in evaluating the safety of combined CRS and HIPEC for rates of infection.
