Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Surgery
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an advanced procedure combining surgical tumor removal (cytoreductive surgery) with heated chemotherapy directly applied to the abdominal cavity. This technique is primarily used for peritoneal carcinomatosis, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and appendiceal cancer, aiming to eliminate residual cancer cells and reduce recurrence rates.
Closed Abdomen Technique (Closed HIPEC) - The abdomen is closed after surgery, and the heated chemotherapy solution is circulated within the closed cavity for 60-90 minutes, minimizing exposure to the surgical team.
Open Abdomen Technique (Coliseum Technique) - The abdomen remains open after surgery, covered with a plastic sheet, allowing manual stirring of the heated chemotherapy solution for even distribution, typically for 60-90 minutes.
Closed Technique with Laparoscopic Assistance - A minimally invasive approach using laparoscopic instruments to circulate the heated chemotherapy solution within the abdominal cavity, suitable for patients with less extensive disease.
Bidirectional HIPEC - Combines intraperitoneal chemotherapy with systemic chemotherapy to enhance treatment effectiveness by targeting cancer cells both within the abdominal cavity and through the bloodstream.
Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) - Chemotherapy is delivered as an aerosol under pressure via laparoscopy, repeated multiple times at intervals, useful for recurrent or inoperable peritoneal carcinomatosis.
HIPEC is planned after diagnostic tests such as CT scan, MRI, PET scan, histopathology, laparoscopy, and tumor marker blood tests. These help determine tumor spread, patient eligibility, and the extent of surgery required.
