Ovarian cancer surgery: bowel shaving vs bowel resection
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical options for ovarian cancer that involves the rectosigmoid bowel wall: removing a segment (resection) versus shaving only the involved layer (tumor shaving). It may help find which approach is safer and better for people whose cancer has spread to the outer bowel layers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epithelial ovarian cancer (not a non-epithelial type).
- A colonoscopy showed no cancer on the bowel lining (mucosa).
- During surgery, doctors find tumor spread into the bowel wall’s outer layers (serosal or seromuscular), not just the lining.
- Your health ability is fairly good (ECOG is less than 3).
- You have acceptable surgical risk (ASA score is less than 3; usually ASA 0–2).

This study compares two surgical approaches for removing advanced ovarian cancer that has attached to the rectosigmoid (lower bowel). Both methods aim to remove the cancer safely, but this trial tests whether one approach works as well as the other.
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.

This trial tests whether doing surgery with small incisions (minimally invasive) instead of a large cut is safe and effective for advanced ovarian cancer after chemo. It may mean a faster recovery while still removing the cancer.
This trial compares two ways to protect the healing connection in your bowel after rectal cancer surgery. One method uses a thin tube placed through your nose down to the small intestine to divert stool away from the surgery site before the operation, while the other creates a temporary opening in the abdomen (an ileostomy) during the surgery. The goal is to see if the tube works as well as the ileostomy in preventing leaks and improving recovery.
