CRS aims to eliminate visible disease, while HIPEC targets microscopic disease. Urologic involvement in CRS/HIPEC cases occurs in 7-20%, with no known negative impact on complications, morbidity, or mortality. The challenge with urologic reconstruction in this context stems from poor tissue quality. There have been no prior studies to our knowledge comparing surgical outcomes of urologic reconstruction before and after CRS/HIPEC. We aimed to examine our institution's experience. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 314 CRS/HIPEC procedures between June 2010 and August 2023. Data included patient demographics, pre-existing co-morbidities, intraoperative details, and post-operative outcomes. Table 1 shows a breakdown of pre-operative patient characteristics, as well as intra- and post-operative outcomes, including short-term (prior to discharge) and long-term (greater than 1 month post-op) urologic complications. RESULTS: Out of the 314 cases, urologic reconstruction occurred in 35 (11.1%). Among these, 24 were intraoperative consults and 11 were planned preoperatively. Urologic repair was done after administration of HIPEC in 22 cases (63%). Notably, 57% (n=20) experienced a postoperative urologic complication, and 29% (n=10) had long-term sequelae (ureteral stricture, retention, incontinence, fistula). Of note, 8 patients had both short- and long-term complications. Table 2 presents an analysis of pre- and intra-operative factors between patients with and without a long-term complication. CONCLUSIONS: Urological reconstruction in CRS/HIPEC adds complexity to post-operative recovery. Our findings suggest that the long-term urologic complication rate remains relatively comparable when compared to overall complications associated with these procedures.
