What is Cytoreductive Therapy?
Debulking cytoreductive surgery is a common treatment for ovarian cancer that aims to remove as much cancerous tissue from the patient’s abdomen as possible, ensuring no tumour nodules larger than 1 centimetre in diameter remain. This procedure is vital for patients whose cancer has spread throughout the abdomen and has the potential to improve patient survival rates. Gynaecological oncologists utilise a microscope to examine the organs and tissues removed during the debulking cytoreductive surgery, assessing whether additional ovarian cancer surgery or other treatments are necessary and gaining further insights into the cancer itself.
Depending on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, there are many types of debulking surgery. Seven types are oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, hysterectomy, omentectomy, lymph node biopsy, abdominal fluid biopsy, and bowel resection.

Debulking: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Pre-surgical Preparation: The surgeon performs tests such as blood tests and imaging to assess cancer spread and plan the approach accordingly.
Procedure: The surgeon makes an incision along the abdomen and removes all the cancerous tissues and the affected adjacent organs (fallopian tube, ovaries, uterus, and omentum) where the cancer has spread. With the attachment of drainage fluid, they collect the excessive discharge and close the site with sutures.
Post-Surgical & Recovery Phase: Patients may need to stay in the hospital for several days for initial recovery and several months to fully recover. They should take prescribed medication to manage post-treatment discomfort, start with a liquid diet and slowly progress towards solid foods, and, lastly, attend physical therapy to avoid blood clots.
