From the WebMD website:
Surgery for ovarian cancer usually includes:
A hysterectomy, which removes your uterus, and a salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes your ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Taking a sample of peritoneal fluid (peritoneal washings) from the abdominal cavity to find cancer cells.
Removing and checking the pelvic and aortic lymph nodes to see if the cancer has spread.
Checking the abdominal organs and tissues for cancer cells. Biopsies may be done.
Removing and checking the fatty tissue (omentum) attached to the stomach and large intestine to see if the cancer has spread.
An appendectomy, which removes your appendix.
Ciao for now.
