Abstract
During 1960s and 1970s, the first laparoscopic procedures concerned treatment of benign diseases. Today, indications have significantly increased even in ovarian borderline tumours and in ovarian cancer. Furthermore, the role of diagnostic laparoscopy remains apparent in the overall therapeutic setting of advanced ovarian cancer as well. The present chapter aims to summarize current evidence regarding potential role of laparoscopy in ovarian cancer treatment as well as indicate potential difficulties that should be raised during its usage.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
