Abstract

A method of laparoscopic continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) is proposed for the treatment of debilitating malignant ascites. The authors report 14 cases of peritoneal malignancy, not amenable to peritonectomy due to massive infiltration of the small bowel. The ascites disappeared in all treated cases.
