What does the Cytoreductive Surgery + HIPEC procedure entail?
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for PMP is a fairly significant procedure that is designed to remove all visible tumors as well as affected tissues and even entire organs. Commonly, the appendix, spleen, gall bladder, female reproductive organs, and omentum are removed. In addition, parts of the small or large intestine may be “resected” (affected pieces removed and the remaining organ stitched or cauterized back together).
