Published: March 2012

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.

Torsion and ruptured ovarian cystadenocarcinoma with internal bleeding complicated with retroperitoneal hematoma after tumor transection: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Minimally Invasive Gynecology Surgery Center, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Hualien, Taiwan.

Rationale: Ovarian tumor torsion is a critical gynecological emergency, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, with benign teratomas being the most common culprits. In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (P-HIPEC) in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Additionally, it explores how the frequency and timing of P-HIPEC influence treatment outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 227 patients with locally AGC who underwent laparoscopic surgery at Maoming People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022.

Advances in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have improved outcomes for selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). This retrospective study analyzed 743 PSM patients treated at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli from January 2016 to February 2024. The primary aim was to assess median overall survival (mOS), median disease-free survival (mDFS), and median progression-free survival (mPFS) stratified by tumor origin.

Purpose: Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is the life-threatening cause of colorectal cancer patients (CRC). Adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) plus cytoreductive surgery exhibited promising effects in preventing recurrence and increasing the survival of CRC patients. However, the outcomes of HIPEC on treating advanced CRC with risk of PM are still controversial.

Review of Imaging Peritoneal Disease and Treatment.

Abdominal Division, Joint Department of Medical Imaging, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • Peritoneal disease is divided into benign and malignant categories, with malignant cases further classified into primary and secondary types, including conditions like peritoneal mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis.
  • Differentiating between benign and malignant peritoneal conditions is crucial, as this determines the course of treatment and helps avoid unnecessary procedures.
  • For patients with secondary malignant diseases like peritoneal carcinomatosis, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may offer a chance for cure, and radiologists play a key role in assessing disease extent and potential surgical issues.
