Peritoneal carcinomatosis was considered the terminal stage for visceral cancer in the past. We open and we close. The disease is often not sensitive to chemotherapy and even when there is surgical excision the recurrence is often systematic and rapid. The prognosis is poor, the median survival being less than 8 months. A treatment hypothesis was put forward in 1988 by an American surgeon, Paul Sugarbaker : to associate hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cytoreductive surgery. In France several teams began to experiment in the 1990s and some encouraging results. Since 2006 the digestive surgery department at the Lariboisiere hospital is considered to be a specialised centre. In 2012, ¬ fifty patients were treated with HIPEC. The role of the physiotherapist is predominantly in the post-operative period as the patient is mechanical ventilated and their motor autonomy is disturbed. One must ¬ fight against respiratory complications and problems related to bed rest. Since 2011, the utilisation of an auto analgesia post-op via an epidural catheter as well as a pre-operative physiotherapy consultation aims at improving the management of these patients.
