Perioperative fast track program in intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer.

摘要

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.
