Risk Factors for Severe Complications in Ovarian Cancer Surgery.

Unlabelled: Backround: Due to extensive surgical intervention for macroscopic complete cytoreduction in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients, severe complications in the postoperative course are possible.

Patients And Methods: A total of 345 EOC patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery were retrospectively evaluated regarding risk factors for an unfavorable postoperative course. Possible pre-, intra- and postoperative risk factors were statistically analyzed performing multivariate ordinal logistic regression.
