Wedge liver resection as part of cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer – a safe and feasible procedure for a gynecologic oncologist

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the learning curve for liver wedge resection performed as part of cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian malignant tumors. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective analysis 120 women diagnosed with stage IIIC cancer according International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics (FIGO) classification: 22 underwent (Group A), while 98 did not require B). t-Student test used variables normal distribution Mann−Whitney U utilized increment abnormally distributed variables. The categorized were shown number cases (n) percentage (%), compared using chi-square test, p-value <0.05 considered significant. A cumulative sum control chart (CUSUM) method investigate curves both groups entire cohort. Results: There no significant differences operating time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization or minor severe adverse effects between Groups B. operative total incidence showed similar Group B Conclusion: It is safe feasible gynecologic oncologists perform resections
