Although advanced stage EOC patients who undergo splenectomy during cytoreductive surgery have less favorable perioperative outcomes, no adverse impact of splenectomy on the survival of advanced stage EOC patients was observed. Splenectomy during cytoreductive surgery seems to be justified to achieve complete cytoreduction in advanced stage EOC patients.
