ResumoIntraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer is currently under investigation. In this preliminary report we introduce the "Veress-needle" as a "single-use" delivery system of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. A total of 22 infusions in 7 patients revealed no major complications, and during 4 infusions only minor side effects were noted. The technique described seems to fulfill the need for a safe, reliable, and acceptable delivery system of intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
