In a therapeutic medical method, a pump and a container are surgically inserted into a patient's abdominal cavity so that the pump is operatively connected to an outlet of the container. The outlet is surgically connected to a selected organ in the abdominal cavity of the patient so that the container can communicate with the organ via the outlet. Subsequently, the pump is operated to move a medical treatment composition from the container to the selected organ in accordance with a first delivery schedule. The progress of the patient is monitored during a period of treatment of the organ at the first delivery schedule, and subsequently, in response to information which is acquired during the step of monitoring and which concerns an effect on the patient of the first treatment schedule, the pump is operated to move the medical treatment composition from the container to the organ in accordance with a second delivery schedule different from the first.
