Popis: PURPOSE The hepatic bridge as an anatomical variation may lead to recurrence and treatment failure in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) by constituting an obscure region during surgery. This report aimed to highlight the relationship between the hepatic bridge and various prognostic factors in peritoneal carcinomatosis. METHODS Data of 101 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in a single centre were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics, primary origin of peritoneal carcinomatosis, classification of hepatic bridge, Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) score, and completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score were analysed. RESULTS The tumour was proven histopathologically in 18 (28.6%) of 63 patients who underwent distal round ligament (DRL) resection. The PCI score was found to be significantly higher in patients with tumour in DRL compared to the ones without tumour (p
