Recovery improves gradually with physiotherapy, nutritional rehabilitation, and oncology follow-up care.
In-person follow-ups recommended at 3, 6, 12 months. Telemedicine available.
HIPEC is performed during cytoreductive surgery, where heated chemotherapy is circulated within the abdominal cavity.
Patients are monitored in specialised ICUs post-surgery.
A local stay is recommended for wound care and early monitoring of complications.
Recovery improves gradually with nutritional support, physiotherapy, and oncology follow-up care.
Comprehensive telemedicine follow-up program. Return visits at 6, 12 months if possible.
