Introduction
Gynecologic oncology surgery involves specialized surgical treatment for cancers affecting the female reproductive system, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers.
These procedures require advanced surgical expertise, precise staging, and close coordination with oncology, pathology, and radiology teams.
Surgery plays a central role in both the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers, aiming to remove cancerous tissue, determine disease stage, and improve long-term outcomes.
When performed by trained gynecologic oncologists, surgery follows strict oncologic principles while prioritizing patient safety and quality of life.
