Cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been gaining more popularity in the recent years. Its curativeintent is accompanied by relatively high morbidity rate. There is no unified classification system evaluating toxicity of thistreatment modality. Nevertheless there is more frequent occurrence of certain types of toxicities which differ from the toxicityof the standard digestive surgery. Early recognition of these complications results in better efficacy of the treatment but mostimportantly in better quality of life of the patients undergoing this modality of treatment. The morbidity and mortality rate is alsoinfluenced by degree of experience with this method. Therefore cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapyshould be performed only in high-volume tertiary centres.
