Anesthesia and Pain Management of Pediatric Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.
Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has shown to improve survival in patients with extensive or refractory abdominal tumors of many different histologies. Postoperative pain control can be challenging as the surgical procedure is performed through a midline laparotomy incision from xiphoid to symphysis pubis and patients are usually nothing by mouth for the first 8-10 postoperative days.
