Abstract

Treatment of peritoneal malignancy with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is often undertaken in patients who have nutritional, physical and psychological challenges as a result of advanced disease. Prehabilitation is a multimodal approach that helps optimize postoperative recovery and reduce morbidity and may be of benefit in this group of patients. It begins once the decision to operate is made and continues until recovery to baseline health. Here we present recommendations on Prehabilitation for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC following discussion at the 10th Peritoneal Malignancy Workshop in Paris September 2018.
