Abstract

Background and Objectives: There is still no any data about the role of re-operation and re-debulking in previously incompletely operated advanced staged patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). In this study, the authors aimed to analyze the effect of an incomplete primary surgery on patient prognosis.
