Abstract:
The role of laparoscopic HIPEC has been reported by several centers around the world as a promising and appealing therapeutical alternative in the management of patients suffering of advanced intra-abdominal malignancies and peritoneal carcinomatosis. Laparoscopic HIPEC is implemented as a neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapeutical modality before and after open cytoreductive surgery. The diagnostic and therapeutical impact of laparoscopic HIPEC is well appreciated and generally is associated with many advantages when compared to classical open HIPEC and simultaneous open cytoreductive surgery.
