Sugarbaker technique

The Sugarbaker technique is a surgical method used to treat advanced abdominal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. It involves removing visible tumors and then covering the affected areas with a special mesh to prevent cancer cells from implanting again. The mesh is carefully positioned to protect vital organs and enhance the chances of complete removal of cancer. This approach aims to reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence and improve patient outcomes. It’s a complex procedure often combined with heated chemotherapy directly applied inside the abdomen to target remaining cancer cells.
