title: [Role of second-look operations in women with ovarian cancer in complete remission].
abstract: Among 142 women with ovarian cancer, a complete remission was observed in 51 cases. The second-look operation was performed in 26 cases among them. The operation had no significant influence on 3 and 5 years survivals together. The operation should not be performed in early stages of cancer particularly in mucinous and endometrioid carcinoma. Relapses are observed more frequently and in a shorter period of time in women on whom the second-look operation was not performed. Then it leads to deaths of the women more quickly.
