Satisfactory and complete resection of the lesions is one of the key factors to improve the prognosis. The trend of surgical resection of extra-ovarian tissues and organs invaded by the tumor has become obvious in order to remove all primary loci and all metastases as much as possible to minimize residual tumor lesions. This article provides a literature review on organ resection in ovarian cancer cytoreduction, summarizing the perioperative complications and survival outcomes at the time of different organ surgery, with the aim of providing guidance for clinical work.展开更多

Its presents several challenges in countries with low resources. This literature review aims to examine POP in its epidemiological aspects, risk factors, and staging by taking up the challenges associated with low-resource settings and identifying some avenues for future research. Methods: We searched the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases. The other studies were identified by checking the secondary references in the original citation. We have collected studies on adult women published in English for the last 30 years. In total, 71 articles were read. We excluded studies from all newspaper articles, Studies presenting co-morbidities (fistulas, cervical cancer, pregnancy), those evaluating treatment, letters, comments, case reports, practice guidelines, news, historical articles, legal cases, published erratum, and congresses. Results: 16 studies examining the epidemiology have been identified with 11 in countries defined by the World Bank as limited or intermediate resources. 18 on risk factors whose 10 in countries with limited or intermediate resources, 10 on staging and 27 on physiopathology. Conclusion: POP affects the young more in low-resource settings. Its prevalence remains underestimated for several reasons. Several risk factors found are the same as those of women in countries with a high standard of living. However, there are some specific risk factors for these resource-limited settings.展开更多
