Abstract
The presence of "omental cake" has been considered since long as a negative prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The aim of this paper was to study the impact of "omental cake" presence on the perioperative outcomes in advanced-stage ovarian cancer. Between 2015 and 2020, 85 patients were submitted to surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer. Among cases diagnosed with "omental cake" the rate of complete cytoreduction was significantly diminished when compared to cases in which this entity was not revealed. In the meantime, the presence of omental cake among cases in which complete debulking was achievable was significantly associated with a higher number of digestive resections when compared to the other cases submitted to surgery and in which tumoral transformation of the omentum was encountered. The presence of "omental cake" is associated with a higher rate of incomplete resections. However, in cases in which complete debulking was achieved, the presence of omental cake was associated with a significantly higher number of digestive tract resections.
