HERNANDEZ-PANEDA, Humberto et al. Risk factors for the development of postoperative complications in patients with metastatic kidney cancer treated with cytoreductive nephrectomy. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.5, pp.632-637. Epub 03-Out-2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000871.
Background:
The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy on the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is controversial due to its high complexity.
Objective:
To identify risk factors associated to postoperative complications in patients with mRCC after cytoreductive nephrectomy.
Method:
We conducted a retrospective, observational study in 67 patients who underwent cytoreductive nephrectomy for the management of mRCC. Demographic, perioperative and clinicopathologic characteristics were registered. Surgical complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system; major complications were those of grade 3 or higher. We performed a binary logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors associated with surgical complications.
Results:
Mean age was 56 years (37-83). Symptoms were present in 58 patients (89.7%). Weight loss was the predominant symptom (50.8%). Mean tumor diameter was 10.8 cm (4.6-22.5 cm). The rate of postoperative complications was 65%; 21 patients (31.4%) had major complications. Risk factors were estimated blood loss > 500 ml (OR 44.5, CI 95% 2.51-789, p = 0.01) and tumor diameter > 10 cm (OR 17.9, CI 95% 1.2-273, p = 0.04).
Conclusions:
Cytoreductive nephrectomy is a good option in highly selected patients with mRCC. Our major complication rate was 31.4%. Risk factors associated were blood loss and tumor diameter.
