Abstract
Objective: Primary cytoreductive surgery in patients with stage IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer frequently includes diaphragm peritonectomy or resection, which can often lead to symptomatic pleural effusions with larger (≥10cm) specimens. Our objective was to evaluate if the placement of an intraoperative chest tube decreased the incidence of symptomatic pleural effusions when ≥10cm diaphragm peritonectomies/resections were performed.
