In order to treat the peritoneal carcinomatosis from abdominal neoplasms has been recently proposed complete peritonectomy associated with IntraPeritoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IHPC). ⋯ Our experience is consistent with other studies for the high rate of postoperative morbidity associated with treatment, but we achieved best results on mortality and post-operative staying. CRS associated with IHPC is a good therapeutic option especially in ovaric-related carcinosis and PMP. It' s still debated whether it could be useful or not in colorectal related carcinosis, whereas there is a general agreement in the un uselessness of this technique in gastric cancer.
