Keyhole procedure · Planned by the tumour board
PIPAC sprays chemotherapy as a fine mist inside the abdomen during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. It is used for some cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdomen.
It is often repeated a few times, and is usually combined with other treatment.
From consultation to follow-up.
Your surgeon reviews your scans and explains whether PIPAC could help.
Specialists decide whether PIPAC suits you, alone or with chemotherapy.
Done at a partner hospital under general anaesthesia, usually with a short stay.
It may be repeated. Your doctor checks how you respond.
PIPAC is planned by CION’s surgical and medical oncologists together. Doctors you can see in the Vizag region are marked.
Small cuts, with a shorter recovery than open surgery.
The chemotherapy reaches the lining of the abdomen directly.
Combined with other treatment where it helps.
Decide whether an operation can remove the cancer, and the right time for it.

PIPAC: Other CION locations in Andhra Pradesh
PIPAC isn’t available in Vizag itself. CION arranges it at a partner centre, usually in a bigger city, and your doctor tells you where to go. Your consultation and follow-up can be in Vizag or by video.
HIPEC follows open surgery to remove tumour. PIPAC is a keyhole procedure that sprays chemotherapy inside the abdomen, usually when the tumour can’t be removed.
It is done under general anaesthesia. You may have some discomfort afterwards, which your team helps manage.
