Surgical Complications Related to Primary or Interval Debulking in Ovarian Neoplasm

Patients with suspected advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC) will undergo only to diagnostic laparoscopy. Omental cake, diaphragmatic or peritoneal extensive carcinomatosis, tumor diffusion to the small and large curvature of the stomach, large and/or small bowel mesentery disease, spleen and/or liver metastases will be investigated in order to obtain a laparoscopic score. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy interval debulking surgery will be performed: total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, radical omentectomy, appendectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, eventual bowel resection, eventual bladder resection, eventual splenectomy, eventual parietal and diaphragmatic peritonectomy, eventual gastric resection, eventual hepatic resection, eventual pancreas resection, eventual cholecystectomy.

Omental cake, diaphragmatic or peritoneal extensive carcinomatosis, tumor diffusion to the small and large curvature of the stomach, large and/or small bowel mesentery disease, spleen and/or liver metastases will be investigated in order to obtain a laparoscopic score. Then, an attempt of laparotomic cytoreduction will be performed: total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, radical omentectomy, appendectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, eventual bowel resection, eventual bladder resection, eventual splenectomy, eventual parietal and diaphragmatic peritonectomy, eventual gastric resection, eventual hepatic resection, eventual pancreas resection, eventual cholecystectomy.
