Ultra-Radical Debulking Surgery is an advanced and highly specialized surgical procedure used in the treatment of advanced-stage ovarian cancer and other gynecological malignancies that have extensively spread within the abdominal cavity. The primary goal of this surgery is to remove all visible cancer, even when it involves multiple organs or deep-seated tumor deposits.
This procedure goes beyond standard cytoreductive (debulking) surgery and is considered when optimal tumor removal cannot be achieved through conventional approaches. It is typically recommended for stage III or IV ovarian cancer, recurrent ovarian cancer where disease is still surgically resectable, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and patients who are fit enough for an extensive, multi-organ surgery and whose cancer is otherwise chemotherapy-sensitive.
Ultra-radical debulking is a cornerstone of aggressive disease control and may significantly improve survival outcomes when performed by experienced surgical teams at Apollo Athenaa.
