Cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is a combined procedure utilized to treat peritoneal surface cancers.[1] These cancers include secondary peritoneal carcinomatosis, pseudomyxoma peritonei and primary peritoneal tumors.[1][2]  Cytoreductive surgery involves debulking the majority of tumors until the remainder are small enough to ensure adequate efficacy with HIPEC.

HIPEC involves infusing heated cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs directly into the surgical site in order to effectively penetrate involved cancer while limiting exposure to normal tissue and decrease systemic uptake.[1][3][4] This may be performed in a closed abdomen via perfusion circuit or an open abdomen +/- cavity expanders.[5]  An open abdomen technique may reduce increased intraabdominal pressures and prevent reuse of the cytotoxic solution.  However, the closed abdomen technique reduces risk of exposure of the medications to the OR staff.

Important perioperative considerations include temperature management, cardiovascular management, intra-abdominal pressures, metabolic derangements (depending on carrier solution of chemotherapeutic agent), potential toxicities (see table below), coagulopathy, fluid/renal management and pain management.[1][3]

Intraoperatively, OR staff may be exposed to cytotoxic agents due to high concentrations of chemotherapeutic medications, long case duration,  and smoke and or mechanical exposure. Pregnant or those actively planning for pregnancy, those with a history of congenital malformations or abortions should carefully consider participation in HIPEC cases. Safety precautions including high-power filtration masks, eye protection, gloves, and standard universal precautions should always be heeded.[6]
