Tumor Debulking

In cases assessed as operable advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer, the team determines the sites and extent of cytoreduction. Typically, the abdominal cavity is first thoroughly explored, and visible tumors and affected peritoneum/omentum are resected in stages, with partial resection and reconstruction of the intestine or organs as necessary; some centers may perform HIPEC (if applicable) after evaluation. Postoperative monitoring focuses on circulation, bleeding, and bowel function, with the goal of minimizing gross residual disease. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
