PMP Surgeons and Specialists in Australia

AustraliaHealth services in Australia, including CRS (peritonectomy) surgery / HIPEC, are delivered by the various states and territories and not by the Federal Government, which provides most of the funding for health

This complex surgery is not undertaken in private hospitals anywhere in Australia. So having private health insurance does not help.

For residents of NSW, VIC, WA, SA and QLD it is performed in the public hospitals indicated below next to photos and contact details of the lead surgeons. Unfortunately, to limit expenditure the number of operations available per year is restricted irrespective of demand. This surgery is not performed in the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory or Tasmania but patients from those places can become “interstate patients” to obtain this surgery in a state which is not their “home state.”

The present criteria appear to give the interstate referring oncologists the final say as to whether “interstate patients” pass the very difficult hurdles of being “assessed as eligible in their home states” for this surgery and for example, “clinically referred to St George Public Hospital” in NSW.

I thought I had a hernia

John went into hospital for a hernia operation. Afterwards, he was told that it wasn’t a hernia but a ‘small, bloody mass’. The pathology came back as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).
