The goal of the CRS is complete removal of all visible disease through the use of peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections. One of the major resections that may be required is total abdominal colectomy (TAC); CONCLUSION: Complete CRS required TAC in 56 of 646 patients (8.7%) with appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. With TAC, median survival was 12.0 years. A class 4 adverse event markedly reduced survival. Copyright © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC; METHODS: From a database and secured files of patients having a complete CRS, all patients who had TAC were identified. The clinical and histologic variables associated with these patients were identified and assessed for their impact on overall survival; RESULTS: The 450 complete CRS with low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms had 26 TAC (5.8%) with a 16.0-year median survival. The mucinous adenocarcinoma (MACA)-Intermediate (MACA-Int) group consisted of 37 patients with 8 patients (21.6%) having TAC that resulted in a median survival of 11.5 years. The 159 complete CRS with MACA had 22 TAC (13.8%) with a median survival of 7.5 years. There was a single mortality with a class 4 adverse event in 5 patients (10.7%). With a class 4 adverse event, survival decreased significantly (p = 0.0006, hazard ratio: 6.2) UR - https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jso.27211 ER -
