Abstract

The management of the advanced peritoneal disease is demanding especially in cases of extensive bowel infiltration and the obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract in different sites. Patients with bowel obstruction due to peritoneal carcinomatosis have an overall survival that ranges from three to eight months to four to five weeks based on the operability or not of the disease, respectively. The decision to operate should carefully consider the balance between the probability of symptomatic relief and the risk of severe perioperative complications and survival after surgery. The extent of the disease and postoperative malnutrition could further complicate patients' postoperative course. We aim to present an operative maneuver of bowel preparation and fixation in cases of extensive infiltration of the small bowel by peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in order to eliminate the risk of postoperative fistula formation or anastomotic leakage.
