Surgery is the primary treatment for all types of ovarian cancer. 1  Surgery is used to: 2  accurately stage the disease. 3  completely remove the tumour. 4  remove as much of the tumour as possible (debulking) before using other therapies. 5  lessen pain or ease symptoms (palliative treatment)
Other factors may also determine which type of surgery is done, such as the type of ovarian cancer and a womanâs wishes to have children in the future. Several different procedures may be done during surgery to remove as much of the ovarian cancer as possible. Surgical staging will be done along with these procedures. Side effects of surgery depend on the type of surgical procedure.
