An assessment of the survival impact of multimodal anesthesia/analgesia technique in adults undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: a propensity score matched analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, a multimodal opioid-sparing nonvolatile anesthetic approach was not associated with improved survival. Precis' statement: In this study of patients undergoing major cancer surgery, the use of multimodal anesthetic and analgesic agents, while avoiding volatile anesthetics and minimizing opioid use was not associated with improved survival.
