Abstract

Background

To evaluate the procedures and complications of diaphragm peritonectomy (DP) and diaphragm full-thickness resection (DFTR) during primary cytoreduction for advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

Methods

All the patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma who underwent diaphragm procedures at our institution between January 2009 and August 2015 were identified. Clinicopathological data were retrospectively collected from the patients’ medical records. Postoperative morbidities were assessed according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) grading system.

Results

A total of 150 patients were included in the study. The majority of the patients had ovarian cancer (96%), stage IIIC disease (76%) and serous histology (89.3%). DP and DFTR were performed in 124 (82.7%) and 26 (17.3%) patients, respectively. A total of 142 upper abdominal procedures in addition to the diaphragmatic surgery were performed in 77 (51.3%) patients. No macroscopic residual disease was observed in 35.3% of the patients, while 84% of the total patient cohort had residual disease ≤1 cm. The overall incidence of at least one major morbidity (MSKCC grades 3–5) was 18.0%, whereas pleural effusions (33.3%), pneumonia (15.3%) and pneumothorax (7.3%) were the most commonly reported morbidities. The rate of postoperative pleural drainage was 14.6% in total, while half the patients in the DFTR group received drainage intraoperatively (11.5%) and postoperatively (38.5%). The incidence of postoperative pleural effusion was associated with stage IV disease (hazard ratio [HR], 17.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.5–66.7; P < 0.001), DFTR (HR, 4.9; 95% CI: 1.2–19.9; P = 0.028) and a long surgery time (HR, 15.4; 95% CI: 4.3–55.5; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Execution of DP and DFTR as part of an extensive upper abdominal procedure resulted in an acceptable morbidity rate. Pleural effusion, pneumonia and pneumothorax were the most common pulmonary morbidities. The pleural drainage rate was not high enough to justify prophylactic chest tube placement for all the patients. However, patients who underwent DFTR merited special consideration for intraoperative prophylactic drainage.
