SAPESUCA is an academic, freely accessible and peer-reviewed tool for individualized calculation of the peritoneal surface area. It was developed to support standardized assessment of peritoneal surface area in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC-related research.
Why this matters
The tool may help quantify patient-specific and resected peritoneal surface area in the context of cytoreductive surgery. This is clinically relevant because intraperitoneal treatment concepts often rely on simplified assumptions rather than individualized surface area estimates.
SAPESUCA may support future research into more personalized CRS and HIPEC workflows, including dose-related research questions and the standardized comparison of cytoreduction across institutions.
