Overview
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare clinical syndrome characterized by the accumulation of ascites mucins in peritoneum, mainly arises from the appendix. The mainstay of therapy in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei is cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapeutic infusion.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei. The traditional approach was repeated surgical debulking, feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of pseudomyxoma peritonei at diagnosis. [1]
- A more aggressive approach is called cytoreductive surgery (CRS), in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) which has following advantage:
