This is an observational study that looks back at medical records of patients with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer who had surgery between 2014 and 2023. Researchers want to compare two surgical approaches—minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robotic) and traditional open surgery—to see which one has better outcomes in terms of complications, recovery, and cancer control. The study will also look separately at patients who chose fertility-sparing surgery to preserve their ability to have children.
Doctors want to understand whether newer, less invasive surgical techniques are as safe and effective as traditional open surgery for treating early ovarian cancer. This information will help guide treatment decisions for future patients.

This is a retrospective study, which means researchers will review your existing medical records rather than asking you to undergo new procedures or visits. Your surgeon's office or hospital may contact you to confirm you're willing to have your records included in the study. Researchers will collect information about your surgery type, any complications you experienced, your recovery, and your cancer outcomes over time. There is no active treatment involved—just the sharing of your existing medical information.
