Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the postoperative complications and the impact of an enhanced recovery programme in patients who underwent primary surgery (including extensive upper abdominal surgery) for epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). All patients with stage I‑IV ovarian carcinoma who underwent primary surgery were identified, and postoperative complications were evaluated and graded according to the Clavien‑Dindo classification. Of 161 patients, 46 (28.57%) underwent surgical staging, 27 (16.77%) standard cytoreduction, 12 (7.45%) en bloc debulking and 76 (47.20%) extraradical debulking. A total of 157 patients (97.52%) achieved optimal tumor reduction (<1 cm). The mean postoperative hospitalization time was 17.33±11.29 days after completion of the initial postoperative chemotherapy (IPC), and the IPC interval was 16.22±10.09 days. A total of 13 patients (8.07%) had grade 3 complications (9 with wound dehiscence, 3 with digestive tract leakage and 1 with a bladder fistula). A total of 2 patients (1.24%) had grade 4‑5 complications [1 patient with severe pneumonia returned to the intensive care unit (ICU) for tracheotomy and respiration rehabilitation; the other patient died of septicemia on day 19]. The multivariate analysis of the preoperative factors revealed that a human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) level of ≥717 pM (P=0.015) and Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV (P=0.004; compared with stage IIIC) were associated with grade 3‑5 complications. The bootstrap analysis revealed that a cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level of ≥1,012 U/ml (P=0.034), a HE4 level of ≥717 pM (P=0.007) and FIGO stage IV (P=0.002; compared with stage IIIC) were significantly associated with grade 3‑5 complications. Meanwhile, the multivariate analysis of the postoperative factors did not reveal any risk factors associated with grade 3‑5 complications; the bootstrap analysis revealed that only transfer to the ICU after surgery (P=0.026) was significantly associated with grade 3‑5 complications. In conclusion, the study found that application of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols is feasible in patients with EOC, especially in those undergoing advanced extensive upper abdominal surgery, and CA125, HE4 and FIGO stage IV were related with the occurrence of adverse perioperative outcomes.
