Secondary Laparoscopic Cytoreduction for Recurrent Ovarian Cancer in Case of Laparoscopic Primary Debulking Surgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case of a 52-year-old Korean woman with recurrent ovarian cancer. She initially had laparoscopic primary devulcating surgery followed by chemotherapy. After six months of no evidence of disease, a recurrence was detected through elevated CA125 levels and confirmed by PET-CT imaging. The patient underwent a laparoscopic secondary cytoreductive surgery, where metastatic lymph nodes and nodules on the cecum surface were resected. The patient is currently receiving chemotherapy and has stable disease. The video concludes with gratitude for the viewers' time. No credits were mentioned.
