Abstract: INTRODUCTION: In recent years, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has gained increasing acceptance as a treatment modality for peritoneal carcinomatosis. In female patients, this procedure involves a total hysterectomy and bilateral saphingo-oophorectomy to remove the pelvic peritoneum. We present a case of an unfortunate female adolescent with peritoneal carcinomatosis who underwent cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. In view of the compelling circumstance, an innovative surgical technique was used to attempt ovarian preservation. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 14 year old girl with carcinoma of the sigmoid colon and peritoneal metastases was offered cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy. In view of her age, ovarian preservation with subcutaneous transposition was performed during cytoreductive surgery. She is currently well 6 months post surgery and has resumed normal menstruation. We review the literature regarding ovarian preservation with subcutaneous transposition and discuss its benefit in pre-menopausal women undergoing peritonectomy and cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis. DISCUSSION: Subcutaneous transposition of the ovary in pre-menopasual patients requiring cytoreductive surgery spares them the sequelae of surgical castration. The subcutaneous location of the transposed ovary conveys advantages such as the ease of ultrasound surveillance and removal in event of disease recurrence. It also retains the possibility of future conception as the transposed ovary can easily be accessed for ovum extraction with assisted reproductive techniques. CONCLUSION: Ovarian preservation with subcutaneous transposition is a technique worth considering in the treatment of pre-menopausal women who require cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
