Procedures
Frequently Asked Questions
HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is a surgical procedure where, after removing all visible cancer from the abdominal cavity (Cytoreductive Surgery), heated chemotherapy is circulated directly inside the abdomen to destroy any microscopic remaining cancer cells. It is recommended for peritoneal surface malignancies such as colorectal cancer with peritoneal spread, peritoneal mesothelioma, pseudomyxoma peritonei, and selected ovarian cancers. Dr. Gaikwad is one of the few surgeons in India certified and trained in HIPEC from ESSO, Germany.
