The role of laparoscopic Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) as neoadjuvant purpose in the management of PM of GC is undefined.Methods: Fifty patients were enrolled into this study with histopathological diagnosis of PM of GC referred to our center between 2012 and 2013 All patients were underwent two cycles of neoadjuvant laparoscopic HIPEC. At the second session of LHIPEC, ascites volume, cytological status and PCI levels were compared with those at the 1st LHIPEC.Results: There was no intraoperative complication and mortality after LHIPEC. Four patients developed mild azotemia of Grade 2. Amount of ascites were completely abolished or decreased .. Read More»
