Infectious Complications after Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intra-Peritoneal Chemotherapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pyomyositis (PY) is a primary infection of the skeletal muscles, leading to inflammation of the muscle fibers followed by pus formation and even necrosis in late stages. Because of overlap in presentation of intermuscular abscess (IM) and PY, the exact incidence and severity of PY is under-appreciated. PATI...
