Approaches to the Diagnosis and Management of Paediatric Ovarian Tumours and Oncological Outcomes in a Single-centre Study. Evidence in Support Of IPSO Reccomendations

In brief

This single-center study evaluates diagnostic approaches and surgical management of pediatric ovarian tumors, examining the reliability of preoperative imaging and perioperative factors linked to adverse outcomes. The research provides evidence supporting IPSO recommendations against laparoscopic tumourectomy due to tumor spillage risk.

• Cross-sectional imaging is reliable for paediatric ovarian tumours but underutilized in practice.
• IPSO does not recommend laparoscopic tumourectomy due to tumour spillage risk, despite its popularity.
• Preoperative evaluation reliability and perioperative factors significantly impact oncological outcomes.
• Single-centre data supports adherence to IPSO guidelines for managing paediatric ovarian tumours.
• Tumour spillage during laparoscopy remains the primary concern affecting long-term prognosis.
