Abstract
To care for a patient with ovarian disease, the surgeon must have appropriate training in gynecologic pathology. He must be able to recognize the gross ovarian pathological changes in situ to make proper surgical decisions. Close interaction between pathologist and gynecologist, careful consideration of the patient’s reproductive wishes, and skillful application of modern techniques in surgery, chemotherapy, and irradiation therapy are required for optimal results. The basic concepts and surgical techniques for the care of ovarian surgical disease will be outlined in this chapter.
