Surgery for Ovarian Cancer

The Most Important Step in Treatment

Expert surgical care, complete staging, and advanced techniques for
better outcomes and long-term survival.

Why Surgery is Crucial in
Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is unique. Unlike many other cancers,

the outcome depends largely on how effectively surgery is performed

  • Complete tumour removal = best survival
  • Incomplete surgery = poorer outcomes

Understanding Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer spreads along peritoneal surfaces inside the abdomen

This means:

  • Disease may appear widespread
  • But often remains removable surgically

How Treatment is Planned

Final decisions are made during surgery using:

  • Resection without rupture
  • Frozen section (LIVE biopsy)

This allows:
Right surgery to be performed in a single operation

Surgical Decision Pathway

How diagnosis is confirmed
How surgery type is decided
Why expert surgical planning is critical

Step-by-Step Surgical Approach

1

Preoperative Evaluation

  • Tumour markers
  • Imaging (CT / MRI / PET)
  • Fitness assessment
2

Resection Without Rupture

First and most critical step:

  • Tumour removed intact
  • Prevents spillage
  • Avoids cancer spread and upstaging
3

Frozen Section (LIVE Biopsy)

Diagnosis during surgery. Report available in 15–30 minutes.

Guides:

  • Type of tumour
  • Extent of surgery
  • Fertility preservation decisions
The Cornerstone

Staging Surgery — Cornerstone of Treatment

Staging surgery is one of the most critical parts of ovarian cancer management. It is not just a formality.

It directly determines:

  • True stage of cancer
  • Need for chemotherapy
  • Long-term outcome & survival

What Does Staging Surgery Include?

Comprehensive staging involves systematic evaluation:

Omentectomy
Pelvic lymph node dissection
Para-aortic lymph node dissection
Peritoneal biopsies
Fluid cytology

These are performed systematically, even when disease appears localized.

Staging surgery is one of the most critical parts of ovarian cancer management , It is not just a formality - it directly determines:

  • True stage of cancer
  • Need for chemotherapy
  • Long-term outcome and survival

Why Staging Surgery is So Important

1

Detects Hidden Disease

  • Microscopic spread may not be visible on scans
  • Staging surgery identifies this

2

Prevents Under-Treatment

  • Missing staging → cancer may be wrongly labeled early
  • Leads to inadequate treatment

3

Avoids Recurrence Due to Incomplete Surgery

One of the most common reasons for recurrence is: incomplete or improper staging in the first surgery

4

Guides Further Treatment

  • Whether chemotherapy is required
  • Type and duration of treatment

Proper staging surgery should be done in the first operation itself

Difficulty Factor

Repeat surgery is significantly more difficult due to adhesions and altered anatomy.

Clinical Risk

Patient outcomes may be compromised if staging is delayed or done in multiple steps.

Surgery Based on Diagnosis

Benign Tumours

  • Conservative surgery OR
  • Hysterectomy + BSO
    (if family is complete)

Localized Cancer

Fertility Preserving
  • Uterus preserved
  • One ovary preserved (selected cases)
Standard Surgery
  • Total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH)
  • Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO)

Advanced Cancer

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)
Removal of all visible disease across multiple surfaces.

Mandatory Staging

Performed in all ovarian cancer surgeries, irrespective of type.

Treatment as per Latest International Guidelines

All surgical decisions follow latest clinical updates and international oncology standards.

Ensures:
  • Standardized treatment
  • Evidence-based care
  • Best possible outcomes
