Abstract: | Background Cytoreductive surgery (CS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) results in limited survival benefit and high morbidity and mortality rates in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) after CS of experimental PC has been shown to increase survival and compare favorably to HIPEC. The effects of RIT and HIPEC on wound healing after CS need to be determined. Methods PC was induced by intraperitoneal inoculation of CC-531 colon carcinoma cells in Wag/Rij rats. Animals were subjected to CS and anastomotic construction only or followed by RIT or HIPEC. RIT consisted of 74 MBq 177lutetium-labeled anti-CC531 antibody MG1. HIPEC was performed by a closed abdominal perfusion technique using mitomycin-C during 60 minutes. Anastomotic and abdominal wall strength measurements were performed 3 and 5 days after surgery. Results At day 5, bursting pressure in ileum and colon anastomoses in the CS + HIPEC group, but not in the CS + RIT group, was lower (P < .01) than in the CS group. In the CS group, the colonic bursting site was more often outside the true anastomotic area (8 of 12 animals) than in the CS + HIPEC (1 of 12) and CS + RIT (5 of 12) groups. Abdominal wall strength in the CS + HIPEC group was significantly (P < .01) lower, at both measuring points, than that in both the CS group and the CS + RIT group. There was no difference between the latter. Conclusion As adjuvant to CS, HIPEC showed a decrease in anastomotic and abdominal wall wound strength in a model of PC of CRC, whereas RIT did not. |
