What Is HIPEC Surgery?
Understanding CRS & HIPEC Treatment
HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is a specialised cancer treatment in which heated chemotherapy is delivered directly into the abdominal cavity. HIPEC surgery in Gurgaon is generally performed along with cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which removes visible cancer deposits from the peritoneum, or lining of the abdomen.
During CRS and HIPEC, the surgeon first removes visible cancer as completely and safely as possible. Heated chemotherapy is then circulated inside the abdomen to target microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery.
How CRS & HIPEC Works
Cytoreductive Surgery → Removal of Visible Cancer → Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
HIPEC treatment may be considered for selected patients with peritoneal cancer or cancers that have spread to the peritoneum, including certain colorectal, appendiceal, gastric and ovarian cancers. Suitability depends on the type and extent of cancer, overall health and whether adequate cytoreduction can be achieved safely.
Who Is Eligible for HIPEC Surgery?
HIPEC surgery is not suitable for every patient. For selected patients with peritoneal cancer or cancer that has spread to the peritoneum, the surgical oncology team evaluates whether cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with HIPEC can be performed safely and provide meaningful benefit. The decision depends on the cancer type, extent of disease, overall health and individual treatment goals.
Cancer Type
Certain colorectal, appendiceal, gastric and ovarian cancers that have spread to the peritoneum may be considered for CRS and HIPEC treatment.
Extent of Peritoneal Disease
Doctors assess how extensively the cancer has spread within the abdomen, including the location and amount of tumour present.
Tumour Resectability
The team determines whether the visible cancer can be removed safely and whether adequate cytoreduction is achievable.
Previous Cancer Treatment
Previous chemotherapy, cancer surgery or other treatments are reviewed to understand how they may affect the current treatment plan.
Overall Health and Fitness
Your general health, nutritional status and the function of important organs are assessed before considering this major surgery.
Individual Treatment Goals
The expected benefits, potential risks, recovery and available treatment alternatives are discussed to determine whether HIPEC surgery in Gurgaon is appropriate for you.
A Clear Path Through HIPEC Surgery
HIPEC treatment involves a carefully planned series of steps, from evaluation and cytoreductive surgery to heated chemotherapy and recovery.
Evaluation & Planning
Review of scans, pathology, previous treatments and overall health to assess whether CRS and HIPEC are appropriate.
Abdominal Assessment
The surgeon examines the abdominal cavity to assess the extent of peritoneal cancer and determine whether visible cancer can be safely removed.
Cytoreductive Surgery
Visible cancer deposits are removed as completely and safely as possible. Depending on the disease, affected areas of the peritoneum or nearby structures may also be removed.
HIPEC
After cytoreductive surgery, heated chemotherapy is circulated directly inside the abdominal cavity for a controlled period to target microscopic cancer cells that may remain.
Completion & Recovery
The chemotherapy solution is removed and the surgery is completed. You are then closely monitored during the initial HIPEC surgery recovery period.

What Are the Benefits of HIPEC?
Potential Benefits of CRS & HIPEC
For selected patients, CRS with HIPEC can help treat visible and microscopic peritoneal cancer within the abdominal cavity.
- Removes visible cancer through cytoreductive surgery
- Targets microscopic cancer cells with heated chemotherapy
- Treats cancer within the abdominal cavity directly
- Offers an option for selected peritoneal cancers
The potential benefits of HIPEC treatment depend on the cancer type, disease extent and overall health. HIPEC does not guarantee a cure, and your doctor will discuss the expected benefits and risks.
Recovery After HIPEC Surgery
HIPEC surgery recovery takes time because CRS with HIPEC is a major abdominal procedure. The hospital stay and recovery period vary depending on the extent of surgery, overall health and any complications.
During recovery after HIPEC, your medical team may monitor:
- Pain and wound healing
- Nutrition and hydration
- Bowel and digestive function
- Mobility and physical activity
- Signs of infection or complications
- Need for further cancer treatment
Your surgeon will provide personalised guidance on diet, activity, wound care and follow-up. Returning to normal activities after HIPEC surgery may take several weeks or longer, depending on your individual recovery.
Risks and Possible Complications of HIPEC
Like other major cancer surgeries, HIPEC has potential risks. These may include:
Bleeding
Infection
Blood Clots
Bowel Complications
Surgical Leakage
Anaesthesia Complications
Kidney or Organ Problems
Nutritional Difficulties
Delayed Recovery
Chemotherapy Side Effects

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your consultation
Is HIPEC suitable for every patient with peritoneal cancer? expand_more
No. Suitability depends on the cancer type, extent of peritoneal disease, whether the visible cancer can be removed safely and the patient's overall health.
Is robotic surgery safe for brain and spine conditions? expand_more
Yes. Robotic-assisted surgery enhances precision, reduces blood loss, and shortens recovery time. Dr. Vikas Gupta has performed over 400 robotic surgeries with a 98% patient satisfaction rate. It is suitable for a wide range of brain, spine, and head & neck procedures.
How long does HIPEC surgery take? expand_more
There is no fixed duration. CRS-HIPEC can be a lengthy procedure because the extent of cytoreductive surgery varies between patients.
What is the cost of HIPEC surgery in Gurgaon? expand_more
The cost of HIPEC surgery in Gurgaon varies depending on the cancer type, extent of surgery, hospital stay, investigations, chemotherapy and other treatment requirements. An individual estimate can be provided after evaluation.
What should I bring to a HIPEC consultation? expand_more
Bring your biopsy or pathology reports, recent CT/MRI or PET-CT scans, blood reports and details of previous surgery, chemotherapy or other cancer treatments.
