Ovarian cancer surgery kd hospital ahmedabad — What is ovarian cancer surgery?
Ovarian cancer surgery ranges from minimally invasive staging surgery for early-stage disease to complex multi-visceral cytoreductive surgery for advanced disease. The exact procedure depends on stage, age, fertility wishes, and whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy was given. Surgical completeness (no visible residual disease) is the single most important prognostic factor.
The procedure is performed by a fellowship-trained gynaecological oncosurgeon — Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel — at KD Hospital, with full multidisciplinary back-up including medical oncology, radiation oncology, anaesthesia, pathology and radiology.
