Impact of Accumulated Institutional Experience on Outcomes of Cytoreductive Surgery with Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Colorectal and Appendiceal Peritoneal Metastases: Early Versus Later Cohort Analysis
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) is an established treatment for select patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases. However, the impact of evolving treatment strategies and accumulating institutional experience on oncological outcomes remains poorly understood. This study aimed to characterise temporal changes in treatment approaches over a decade at a single high-volume centre and evaluate their association with outcomes by comparing early and later patient cohorts. Methods: A total of 160 patients who underwent CRS with IPC for colorectal peritoneal metastases between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively analysed and categorised into early (2011–2013, n = 42) and late (2014–2019, n = 118) cohorts. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between the groups. Prognostic factors were assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models. Results: The later cohort demonstrated significantly improved OS compared to the early cohort (median OS, 25.1 vs. 13.8 months; 5-year OS, 25.9% vs. 11.9%; log-rank p = 0.015). DFS showed a non-significant trend toward improvement (p = 0.176). In the multivariate analysis, cohort period (HR 0.63, p = 0.029), completeness of cytoreduction (HR 4.51, p < 0.001), tumour location, preoperative CEA level, and receipt of preoperative systemic chemotherapy were independently associated with OS. Conclusions: These findings suggest that accumulated institutional experience and changes in treatment strategies may be associated with improved OS in patients undergoing CRS with IPC for colorectal peritoneal metastases.

Exercise-induced traumatic muscle injuries with active bleeding successfully treated by embolization: three case reports
Muscle injuries caused by indirect trauma during exercise are common. Most of these injuries can be managed conservatively; however, further treatment is required in extreme cases. Although transcatheter arterial embolization is a possible treatment modality, its role in traumatic muscle injuries remains unclear. In this case series, we present three cases of exercise-induced muscle hemorrhage treated by transcatheter arterial embolization with successful outcomes. The damaged muscles were the rectus abdominis, adductor longus, and iliopsoas, and the vascular injuries were accessed via the femoral artery during the procedures.
