Before the operation
Scans, blood tests and biopsy results are reviewed to understand the tumour type and extent, and the expected limits of surgery are explained.
What the operation may include
- Removal of the tumour or the affected organ, depending on the diagnosis.
- Assessment of lymph nodes when needed.
- A laparoscopic approach for part of the operation in suitable cases.
After the operation
The pathology result and the follow-up or further treatment plan are discussed at a set visit, with clear recovery instructions.
The explainer video will be added soon.
Frequently asked questions
Does every ovarian tumour need complete removal?
No. The extent of removal depends on the tumour type, the patient’s age and the stage.
Is the operation always open?
Not always. Some cases suit laparoscopy, and that is decided after assessment.
When is the pathology result ready?
Usually within one to two weeks, and it is discussed at follow-up.
