Abstract: Introduction/Background: Surgical management of advanced ovarian cancer(AOC) is considered technically challenging. In order to achieve the required outcomes a centre requires expertise and flow of cases. ESGO recommends that accredited centres perform at least 24 complete cytoreductive(CCR) surgeries per year, with a minimum of 12 complete primary debulking surgeries(PDS).
