Many patients from the Lehigh Acres, Florida, area who are in need of ovarian cancer surgery choose to receive treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. We have earned an international reputation as a world leader in performing complex cancer surgeries using state-of-the-art technologies and innovative techniques – including robot-assisted and minimally invasive approaches.

To ensure the most comprehensive treatment of our ovarian cancer surgery patients, each woman’s treatment plan is highly individualized to meet her particular needs. Our tumor board of specialists meets weekly to evaluate each patient’s progress and assess key factors such as size, grade and location of a tumor. This talented team includes oncologists, reproductive endocrinologists, plastic surgeons, pathologists and supportive care workers. As such, our ovarian cancer surgery patients have access to an entire team of experts – rather than a single physician – who work together to recommend the best possible form of treatment. The procedures that may be recommended to treat ovarian cancer include:

Unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy – Removal of one or both of the ovaries and fallopian tubes
Omentectomy – Removal of the thin tissue that covers the intestines inside the abdomen
Lymph node dissection – Removal of the lymph nodes in the pelvic and para-aortic areas
Partial hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus
Total hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus and cervix
Cytoreductive/debulking surgery – Removal of as much of the tumor as is safely possible, which might include tissue from nearby organs such as the spleen, gallbladder, stomach, colon or bladder
