I ve a relative who 3 days ago had two 10cm dermoid cysts removed, one from each ovary . One cyst has been determined to be cancerous and it had wrapped itself round the bowel and over the womb. Gynocological Surgeon uncoiled tumour from around bowel thus preventing a stoma and completed wash of abdominal area. Today my relative has been sent for an X-ray . Is this a matter of routine? Many thanks, Louise.
Hello, Ovarian cancer is treated by the process cytoreductive surgery or staging procedure. If this is done it is fine.Otherwise, this procedure may be carried out. X-ray is done usually to rule out bowel perforation. Good luck
