Özet

Background: Urgent re-laparotomy(URL) can be accepted as an important index of quality indicator in cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC). Complications after CRS are usually associated with shortened survival, early recurrence of primary tumor, exhaustion of center’s sources, and high costs. However, reports of URL tend to be scarce, very limited, and fragmented.

Objectives: To evaluate/determine the morbi-mortality outcomes of the urgent re-laparotomized patients treated with CRS and HIPEC.

Methods: Prospectively maintained database of 661 patients treated with potentially curative intent of CRS&HIPEC in years of 2007 and 2020 were evaluated. URL was done for 28 patients as planned re-exploration(4.2%): 22(78.6%) of them was female. The median age was 57 year (ranging, 24 to 76). There were 22(78.6%) patients over 65 years old. Sixty-four(n=18) percent of the URL patients were received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. All standart clinico-pathological characteristics, re-operative findings, and final outcomes were analyzed. The well-known immunoscores such as neutrophile-lymphocyte(N/L), neutrophile-thrombocyte (N/T), and CRP-albumin ratios(CAR) were determined.

Results: The main indication for URL was small bowel anastomotic leak(n=13; 46.4%). The abdominal wall disruption(n=5; 17.9%) was the second indication. The frequent localization of damaged organ was again small bowel. The 28.6% of patients(n=8) were re-operated in early postoperative period(in 7 days), whileas the rest of them [71.4%(n=20)] in 90 days. There was only one re-URL patient in this series. Many of them(n=16; 57.1%) had more than one co-morbidities. Delving into the overall group, there were Dindo-Clavien(D-C) grade I-II complications in 104(16.4%) patients and D-C grade III-IV in 88(13.9%) patients, whereas in URL patient group, D-C grade III-IV complications were seen in 22(78.6%). In this prospective cohort, the mortality rate was 3.2%(n=20) without any re-exploration. However, six(21.4%) patients were also lost in URL patients. The main reason for failure-to-rescue was sepsis due to entero-enteral anastomotic leak. In four of them, multiple co-morbidities were affected the post-URL care. Fifty percent of mortal patients had neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The cut-off PCI scores of URL, saved-URL, and lost-URL patients were 13, 14, and 12, respectively. CC-0 score was detected in 23 URL patients in whom four of them were lost, whileas CC-1 in 5 in whom two of them were lost. For URL-patients, pre-urgent re-laparotomy median N/L, N/T, and CAR values were 9.12(ranging, 1.72 to 37.5), 0.03(ranging, 0.01 to 0.12), and 41.4(ranging, 4.2 to 181.3), respectively. Interestingly, N/L and CAR values(4.71 and 28.8) estimated before pre-CRS were also significantly higher(p=.01 and p<.01)in patients who were going to be treated with URL. These immunoscore values did not show any association in between pre-CRS and pre-URL mortal patients.

Conclusions: The judgemental factors at work were complex in even planned URL. The overall survival depends almost entirely on the severity of disease. Patients with high risk factors could be selected to an intense care postoperatively for close monitoring. Timely intervention and proper management strategy are utmost important issues to lower further morbi-mortality in patients treated with URL.
