Description
Summary:This study examines the operative details and complications of colorectal resection in patients with ovarian and primary peritoneal carcinoma. Patients who underwent colorectal resection for ovarian and primary peritoneal cancer were identified in our surgical database for the period 1988 through 2002. Of the 125 patients who were identified, 73% were undergoing primary cytoreduction; 18% were undergoing secondary cytoreduction, and 7% were undergoing interval cytoreduction. The mean length of colon that was removed was 15.7 cm. The method of anastomosis was stapler in 63% and hand sewn in 22%; 15% patients had no anastomosis performed. A protective ostomy was used in 13% of patients. Optimal cytoreduction (
