This study introduces an innovative open-abdomen technique for intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia, enabling better fluid containment and improved surgical access for enhanced treatment delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Devices

Context:

  • Chemo-hyperthermia is a cancer treatment involving chemotherapy and heat.
  • Intraperitoneal delivery targets abdominal cancers directly.
  • Current methods face challenges in maintaining fluid containment and surgical access.

Purpose:

  • To present a novel open-abdomen technique for intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia.
  • To describe a method for watertight abdominal closure using an "abdominal cavity expander" and self-retaining retractors.
  • To facilitate improved surgical manipulation and homogeneous heat distribution during treatment.

Summary:

  • An original open-abdomen procedure for intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia is detailed.
  • A watertight seal is achieved using a soft abdominal cavity expander and a Thompson retractor, allowing fluid levels above the skin.

  • This enables extensive surgical manipulation, including partial exteriorization of organs, and ensures uniform hyperthermia with minimal fluid loss.

    • Impact:

    • The described technique enhances the feasibility and efficacy of open-abdomen intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia.
    • It allows for improved visualization and access to all peritoneal spaces.
    • This method simplifies the procedure by requiring only one inflow and one outflow drain, potentially improving patient outcomes in abdominal cancer treatment.
