After that, preparation according to the preoperative standard will start.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Cytoreductive surgery<\/strong>&nbsp;begins with general anesthesia. The intervention is performed as open surgery, i.e. through the incision in the anterior abdominal wall, so that the surgeon can carefully examine the peritoneum and the surface of the abdominal organs.
