AIM: This study aimed to determine surgical outcomes in patients with gynecological cancers for whom surgery was performed by gynecologists and digestive surgeons. METHODS: Seventy-three patients who underwent surgery for a gynecological malignant tumor from January 2010 to December 2014 were included in this retrospective study. Data on the definitive diagnosis, operative procedures, postoperative complications, stoma settings, length of hospital stay, and prognosis was collected for each patient. RESULTS: The median age of this female-only cohort was 60 years. Emergency surgery was performed in 8(11.0%)patients. Ovarian cancer was diagnosed in 56(76.7%)patients, and among these patients, the clinical disease Stage was Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ in 4, 4, 20, and 11 patients, respectively. Moreover, 17 patients had recurrent ovarian cancer. Intestinal resection with anastomosis was performed in 25(34.2%)patients. Stoma formation was performed in 22 (30.1%)patients, however no patient underwent stoma closure surgery in the current study. The median operative time was 252 minutes, and the median blood loss was 1,190 mL. Regarding postoperative complications, ileus, pelvic abscess, and anastomotic leakage developed in 6(8.2%), 4(5.5%), and 2(2.7%)patients, respectively. The postoperative median survival time in patients with ovarian cancer was 1,399 days. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that tumor debulking, including intestinal tract resection, may contribute to the prolonged prognosis of gynecological tumors, although stoma closure is difficult to perform.
