Peritonectomy for Mesothelioma

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma you may have heard of a surgical procedure called peritonectomy. This procedure involves removing the lining of the abdominal cavity which can help mesothelioma patients live longer. A peritonectomy is often performed as part of cytoreductive surgery which is a comprehensive cancer treatment aimed at removing as many visible abdominal tumors as possible. This type of surgery has been shown to greatly improve survival time for peritoneal mesothelioma patients. A peritonectomy is a complex procedure performed by a team of highly trained surgeons and can take several hours to complete.
