Hipec with cytoreductive surgery welcare speciality hospital ahmedabad — What is HIPEC and cytoreductive surgery?
Cytoreductive surgery combined with HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) involves removing all visible tumour from the abdomen, then bathing the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy at 41–43°C for 60–90 minutes to kill microscopic residual disease. The procedure is performed in a single operating theatre session and offers the best chance of long-term survival in selected patients with advanced ovarian or peritoneal cancer.
The procedure is performed by a fellowship-trained gynaecological oncosurgeon — Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel — at Welcare Speciality Hospital, with full multidisciplinary back-up including medical oncology, radiation oncology, anaesthesia, pathology and radiology.
