Background: The nomenclature and execution of peritonectomy procedures for peritoneal surface malignancies significantly vary between surgeons and centres. The aim of this consensus was to reach uniform nomenclature for peritonectomy procedures, to define subregions of each peritonectomy procedure, and to define boundaries of each subregion.
Methods: The modified Delphi technique was employed. A group of experts elaborated on the initial classification of six peritonectomy procedures. They added newer and ancillary peritonectomy procedures and defined boundaries of each procedure. Then a panel of surgeons with expertise in cytoreductive surgery voted on questions in two rounds. Consensus was reached if an option received >75% of the votes.
Results: Of 112 surgeons invited, 107 (95.5%) and 101 (90.1%) voted in round I and round II respectively. Consensus was reached on 207 of 211 questions (98.1%), including all of the questions related to the subdivisions of peritonectomy procedures and the boundaries of each peritonectomy procedure. The four questions on which consensus was not reached were related to the 'most appropriate term' for specific peritonectomy procedures. A reporting form was devised to document the extent of peritonectomy.
Conclusion: This consensus successfully devised a revised nomenclature for peritonectomy procedures. The reporting format is an important tool for research on the extent of peritoneal resection required for treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies.

Background: Surgical resection remains central to the curative treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (GC), yet global variability persists in defining resectability, particularly in complex scenarios such as multivisceral invasion, positive peritoneal cytology (CY1), or oligometastatic disease. The Intercontinental Criteria of Resectability for Gastric Cancer (ICRGC) project was developed to address this gap by combining expert surgical input with artificial intelligence (AI)-based reasoning.
Methods: A two-stage prospective survey was conducted during the 2024 European Gastric Cancer Association (EGCA) meeting.

Introduction: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common biliary tract cancer (BTC) worldwide-the majority of GBC patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. Peritoneum is one of the most common sites of metastasis in GBC and the most frequent site for recurrence after resection of both non-incidental and incidental GBC (iGBC). Ovarian, colorectal, and gastric cancers also commonly metastasise to the peritoneum, and the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in the form of peritonectomy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures is well-documented for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis (PM) or peritoneal dissemination or carcinomatosis in these malignancies.

Background: Distal pancreatic resection during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is rare, with limited knowledge available. Therefore, a retrospective observational study was conducted using the data registry of a single institution to identify patients that underwent distal pancreatic resection during CRS + HIPEC.
Methods: All resected pancreatic specimens were examined for invasive parenchymal tumor infiltration.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third-most common malignancy worldwide. It has the potential to develop peritoneal metastases (CRPM), which can be treated using cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). There is limited literature on outcomes of secondary CRS/HIPEC for CRPM recurrence.

Background: Abdominal multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM) is a rare condition characterized by multiple serous cysts, predominantly affecting the pelvic peritoneum. There is no consensus on the clinical management of MCPM, although surgical resection remains the first-line treatment. Given its low malignant potential, the goal is complete cyst removal to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
