Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is an effective but complex treatment for peritoneal metastasis (PM). Our objective was to identify risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality following CRS-HIPEC. ⋯ CRS-HIPEC is a feasible treatment for colorectal PM with an acceptable morbi-mortality rate in experienced centers. In our study, digestive anastomosis, perioperative blood transfusion, hepatic resection, and lymph-node infiltration were associated with higher morbidity rates.
