- Abstract
Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome (PMP) is an orphan disease. Surgery is the fundament of treatment. Method: Short review summarizing the state of the art treatment. Results: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) form the foundations of treatment for PMP. The peritoneal cancer index should be preoperatively determined based on imaging and/or laparoscopy, intraoperatively validated and both should be documented. An extraperitoneal surgical preparation technique leads to effective en bloc resection of the peritoneum and the affected abdominal area. The HIPEC technique should be performed with mitomycin C for 60–90 min. Complete CRS (CC = 0, CC = 1) and the histological subtype are relevant for the prognosis. Structured educational programs and mentoring can optimize the learning curve. The aftercare should be performed at the surgical center. After follow-up imaging at 3 months after CRS, in the first 2 years a control should be carried out every 6 months. Thereafter, the intervals can be extended to 1 year. Conclusion: Standardized surgical treatment and HIPEC, optimized specific surgical training and structured follow-up at the center lead to an excellent long-term prognosis for patients with PMP.
