Summary
Conservative and functional surgery is increasingly used in surgical oncology. Its aim is to preserve organs’ functionality and to reduce radical resection. Development of new surgical procedures in oncologic gynecologic surgery is a perfect example of this evolution. Although radical surgery remains the gold standard in the treatment of ovarian cancer, a conservative approach can be considered in patients with early-stages disease, in order to preserve their fertility function. These procedures were proposed to selected patients, depending on histologic subtypes and prognostic factors. Ovarian cancers are classified in epithelial (including borderline and malignant tumors) and non-epithelial cancer.
