Ovarian cancer surgery at Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert's Clinic in Ankara, Turkey, is a primary treatment for managing and staged removal of malignant tumors. The clinic provides both staging surgery for early disease and debulking procedures for advanced cases to help improve patient outcomes. Op. Dr. Esra Çabuk Cömert leads the surgical team with over 15 years of experience in women's health and complex gynecological procedures.
Diagnostic Protocol and Planning
Before surgery, the clinic uses a series of tests to map the disease and plan the intervention. These tests help determine the cancer stage and the best surgical approach. The diagnostic process includes:
- Pelvic examination to check for physical abnormalities.
- CA125 blood test to monitor tumor markers.
- Transvaginal and Color Doppler ultrasound for detailed imaging of the ovaries.
- BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic testing for patients with a family history of ovarian cancer.
A definitive diagnosis is often confirmed through laparotomy, which allows the surgeon to inspect the pelvic area directly.
Surgical Methods and Technology
The clinic chooses the surgical method based on the stage of the cancer and the patient's health. Laparoscopy is the preferred first choice for most gynecologic cancer surgeries at this facility. This minimally invasive method uses small incisions, which helps patients recover faster. For more complex cases, the clinic offers robot-assisted surgery. This technology provides 3D magnification and removes hand tremors, allowing for high precision through incisions as small as 8 mm.
In advanced stages, the surgical team performs debulking surgery. This procedure aims to remove as much of the tumor as possible. The surgery may involve removing one or both ovaries, the omentum, the appendix, affected bowel segments, and lymph nodes. Success in treating ovarian cancer often depends on the quality of this first surgical intervention.
