    AbstractPeritoneal carcinomatosis has been treated by extensive cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). We report here our experience of 5 patients treated twice or three times by recurrent procedure of HIPEC and cytoreduction. The mortality rate was 0% and morbidity one 30%. Three patients have died at 6, 10, 18 months respectively after the second cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC, and two patients are still alive at 40 and 67 months. Our results might suggest that recurrent peritoneal carcinomatosis after cytoreduction and HIPEC, could be usefully treated by another cytoreduction and HIPEC procedure in a curative approach superior to more conventional treatments.
