Ovary Cancer
What is Ovary Cancer?
In ovary cancer abnormal cells in the ovary grows and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor. Two ovaries, one located on either side of the uterus, are responsible for the production of hormones and embryos in women.
The epithelial cells, which are the outer layer of the ovary, are the site of origin for the majority of ovarian cancers.

Stage 4: The cancer has spread beyond the abdomen, such as to the lungs or spleen.
What is Robotic Surgery for Ovary Cancer?
Robotic-assisted colectomy surgery is a good option for many individuals with ovarian cancer. Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery.
In this method, the surgeon uses a robot to perform complex procedures with more precision, accuracy and flexibility than by hand.
Instead of a large cut, the surgeon makes a very few tiny incisions to insert the robot’s small arms. A slightly larger incision is made only to remove the tumour safely.
