title: [Abdominal lavage for peritoneal cancer cell seeding prevention].
abstract: Spontaneous or iatrogenous peritoneal seeding is responsible for locoregional recurrent cancer or peritoneal carcinomatosis. Few surgeons are used to wash the abdominal cavity to prevent peritoneal seeding. But experimentally, washing is not able to dislodge or destroy tumour cells adherent to the peritoneum or to the surgical wounds. The antitumoral effect of abdominal washing is increased by addition of antiseptics or anti-adherent agents.
