Impact of surgical volume and learning curve on postoperative complications and surgical infections after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)
Observational analysis assesses complications and infections in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery, indicating the influence of surgical volume and experience.
Key Points
Higher surgical volume is linked to fewer postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery.
The learning curve significantly reduces the rate of surgical infections through improved technique.
Cytoreductive surgery combined with HIPEC is a critical approach for managing peritoneal metastasis.
Understanding these factors may enhance patient outcomes and inform surgical training programs.
