Objective: Complication and survival analysis of cytoreduction surgery with modified posterior pelvic exenteration in the surgical treatment of the ovarian malignant tumor.
Methods: A retrospective monocentric study between 2000 and 2013 in Rhone-Alpes cancer treatment center. One hundred and fifty-two patients with ovarian cancer and treated by surgery with modified posterior pelvic exenteration were included. Complication in the 30 days after surgery was analysed by the Clavien-Dindo classification.
Results: In our study, rate of global complication was 62.5% with a morbidity rate of grave complication of 7.9%. Our rate of complete resection was 82.2%. Three fistulas (2.2%) were found. On average, there was 6.6±1.8 (2-11) surgery gesture associated with Hudson resection during surgery. In univariate analysis, there was a statistic significant association between complication from the rank II of Clavien-Dindo classification and supraradical surgery, post-chemotherapy surgery, recurrent surgery, the resection of a diaphragmatic dome, and the partial gastric resection. This association was also observed with the number of surgical gesture associated with Hudson resection.
Conclusions: The main prognostic surgical factor in ovarian cancer is to obtain a no macroscopic residual disease. The modified posterior pelvic exenteration allowed to obtain it. Our study demonstrates a low rate of grave complication further to this type of surgery.
