Contained Excision Technique In A Robot-Assisted Cytoreduction For Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates a robotic-assisted contained excision technique for recurrent ovarian cancer to prevent tumor spillage. A 74-year-old patient with prior ovarian carcinosarcoma and BRCA1 mutation underwent minimally invasive secondary cytoreductive surgery. The surgeons minimized tumor manipulation by dissecting surrounding tissue and using a cotton sponge to handle and contain the tumor before removing it in a retrieval bag. The procedure had minimal blood loss, no complications, and the patient was discharged the same day. Postoperative therapy and imaging showed no residual pelvic tumor. This safe, feasible technique may reduce tumor spread risk during ovarian cancer surgery.
