Ovarian Cancer Surgery

Ovarian cancer surgery typically involves the removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and sometimes the uterus, as well as nearby lymph nodes to eliminate cancerous tissue. This procedure, known as a debulking surgery, aims to remove as much of the tumor as possible. It can help improve survival rates and may be combined with other treatments like chemotherapy. Surgery is often performed when the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, but it can also be necessary for advanced stages. Recovery times vary, and follow-up care is essential to monitor for any signs of recurrence.
