Objective: To investigate the benefit of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of endometrial peritoneal carcinomatosis compared to CRS alone.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicentre study of patients from experienced centres in treating peritoneal malignancies from 2002 to 2015. Patients who underwent surgery for peritoneal evolution of endometrial cancer (EC) were included.
Background: The Montpellier bariatric team has recently proposed some technical alternatives to decrease the rate of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after bariatric surgery and also to offer patients an alternative in case of contraindication to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP): the Nissen-Sleeve (N-Sleeve).
Objectives: We present here the results from a cohort of patients that underwent an operation with this newly designed anti-reflux bariatric procedure N-Sleeve: Nissen valve added to a standard SG.
Methods: Data from a prospective, observational, and monocentric cohort.
Background: To assess impact of surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients treated for a first relapse of ovarian cancer (FROC).
Patients And Methods: Patients with a FROC treated with second-line chemotherapy, surgery and HIPEC were retrospectively included from 13 Institutions. Studied parameters were interval free between the end of initial treatment and the first relapse, second-line chemotherapy, peritoneal cancer index and completeness of surgery, HIPEC, mortality and morbidity, pathological results and survival.
Our aim was to evaluate the morbidity and survival associated with combined cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer for patients aged 70 years and older. We conducted a monocentric study in a French university hospital and collected data on 15 women aged ≥ 70 years, treated by cytoreduction and HIPEC for ovarian cancer relapse. The median overall survival was 35 months, with a median disease-free survival of 15.

Study Design: Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data were collected prospectively for 13 patients treated in our University hospital.
Results: Of the thirteen patients treated, one patient was lost to follow up.
Ingestion of a foreign body is a frequent and well-known medical problem with several diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Usually, ingested foreign bodies pass through the alimentary tract without incident. In some cases, they can be lodged in the appendix and may cause appendicitis.

New locoregional therapeutic approaches combining cytoreductive surgery with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) have evolved and suggest improved survival.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective multicentric study was performed in French-speaking centers to evaluate the toxicity and the principal prognostic factors in order to identify the best indications.
