Description
Summary:Abstract Introduction Diffuse peritoneal dissemination in advanced ovarian cancer can be treated using optimal effort surgery involving peritonectomy procedures and the administration of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Objective To report on our experience in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer using peritonectomy procedures and HIPEC through the fast track program. Patients and method From September 2008 until May 2010, forty-six patients with primary advanced (stage III-C) or recurrent ovarian cancer have been included in the fast track protocol if they had optimal cytoreduction CC-0 or CC-1 accompanied by HIPEC and there had no more than one digestive anastomosis. Results The mean peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 12.35 (3–21). The median operation time was 380 min (200–540). Optimal surgery CC-0 was achieved in 38 of the 46 patients and CC-1 in the remaining 8. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.94 ± 1.56 days (3–11). Major morbidity rates were 15.3%. Paralytic ileus was the most frequent of these. There was no mortality related to the procedure. Conclusion Surgery with peritonectomy procedures and HIPEC in advanced ovarian carcinoma is possible under fast track surgery programs in patients with low volume peritoneal carcinomatosis. Prospective and randomized studies are needed.
