Abstract

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is a major surgery which consist of extensive tumor debulking, peritonectomy, and multiple visceral resections. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a technique in which chemotherapy is delivered in a heated solution perfused throughout the peritoneal space. In centers performing CRS-HIPEC, a significant survival benefit were observed; However, the rate of post-operative complications remains high. Acute kidney injury is a post-operative complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality and may cause delay in adjuvant chemotherapy or worse, may render the patient ineligible to receive systemic chemotherapy.
