Biological meshes were developed that may help to complement standard closure techniques and offer an alternative to synthetic meshes, which carry significant risks with their use in complex cases.
Patients And Methods: A total of 114 patients underwent surgical treatment for CAWR with a Permacolâ„¢ (a biologic surgical implant).
Intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (IPEC) of cisplatin is a popular treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, typically under hyperthermia (HIPEC). The use of cisplatin under (H)IPEC is off-label, and the role of hyperthermia is unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PKPD) properties of cisplatin under (H)IPEC and to predict the optimal treatment regimen.
