Brief summary
Phase II multicentric study
Detailed description
The aim of this prospective Phase II multicentric study is to assess feasibility and early complications rate of total laparoscopic/robotic interval debulking surgery in patients with a clinical complete/partial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer.
Interventions
Diagnostic laparoscopy with a careful exploration of peritoneal cavity: if available a 5 mm flexible tip videolaparoscope will be used to explore all peritoneal recesses.For eligible patients,will be placed 3 5mm trocar in standard position for pelvic surgery:cytoreduction will consist in total/radical hysterectomy,bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy,radical omentectomy.If needed pelvic/upper peritonectomy will be performed:in these cases additional trocar can be placed in right or left subcostal spaces. All surgical procedure requested will have be carried out by laparoscopy/robotic or by laparotomy,in case of increased surgical risk or technical impossibility:the case will be registered as laparotomic conversion.At the end of surgical procedures residual tumor will be registered
