Hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) is a standardized method of treatment in selected patiens with in-transient locoregional recurence/methastasis of melanoma or, some other soft tissue tumors (incl. sarcoma etc.) Authors present history and current status of this treatment modality in General University Hospital in Prague. During one year period (7/2009–6/2010) 10 patients were indicated for this procedure.
We erformed 13 procedures (3x redo), 11 in lower extremity and 2 in upper extremity. There was no serious complication in this cohort of patiens.
