Abstract
A 64-year-old woman with recurrent ovarian cancer isolated to the left pelvic sidewall underwent robotic resection of a tumor adherent to the external iliac vein and encasing the ureter and internal iliac vessels. A narrated video-clip of the case is included.
Highlights
Most women with ovarian cancer present with stage 3C, high grade serous disease
In September of 2018 she developed serologic and radiologic evidence of recurrence isolated to the left pelvic sidewall
Further systemic treatment was held, and the patient recurred in the peritoneal cavity at 6 months
Summary
Most women with ovarian cancer present with stage 3C, high grade serous disease. The majority will initially respond well to a combination of cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy, most will develop disseminated and resistant recurrence in the peritoneal cavity and succumb. A small percent of women will develop isolated and resectable recurrence and benefit from a second surgery, if there has been a long progression-free interval (greater than 1 year since completion of chemotherapy) [1, 2]. We present the surgical details of such a case
