| Abstrakt: | Purpose of Investigation: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) for the assessment of peritoneal carcinomatosis resectability in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer (AOC). Materials and Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients affected by advanced stage ovarian cancer who underwent LESS for operative work-up. A standard cytoreductive laparotomy surgery (CRS) was performed. Results: Fifty-two women affected by AOC underwent LESS for operative work-up. The peritoneal cancer score was completed in 49 (94%) patients by use of LESS; 34/37 (92%) patients considered with a resectable disease were effectively optimally debulked and 15/52 (28%) patients considered with an unresectable disease received before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and then underwent surgery. Conclusion: LESS is feasible, safe, and is an alternative minimally invasive procedure to assess the resectability of AOC patients. |
