Brief Title: Assessment of Quality of Life After Low Anterior Resection During Cytoreductive Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Official Title: Assessment of Quality of Life After Low Anterior Resection or Visceral Peritoneal Stripping During cytOreDuctive surgerY for Advanced Ovarian Cancer Requiring Tumor Resection on the Rectosigmoid Colon: a Prospective Cohort Study
Study ID: NCT05431530
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome and quality of life after cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer patients.
Detailed Description: In advanced ovarian cancer, 24-64% of patients require removal of tumors located in the rectum and sigmoid colon. In order to remove the tumor located in the rectum and sigmoid colon, low anterior resection (LAR) is performed to excise the rectum and sigmoid colon. All patients who underwent low anterior resection are at risk of developing low anterior resection syndrome, which presents symptoms such as frequent bowel movements, frequent defecation, and impaired stool control. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome and quality of life after cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer patients.
