Authors' objectives:
Does complete cytoreduction combined with heated intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (Sugarbaker procedure) lead to a better survival than usual treatment (chemotherapy i.v. and debulking surgery) in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei?
Authors' recommendations:
The scientific documentation of the eventual beneficial effect on survival of peritonectomy combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (Sugarbaker procedure) in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei is insufficient (OOO).The procedure is associated with a high rate of serious complications.
