Abstract
In patients with ovarian cancer, VATS should be used to exclude or confirm the presence of supradiaphragmatic disease and possibly remove it completely. The simultaneous use of laparoscopy and VATS allows for an accurate selection of patients to be sent, in a very short time, to primary surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Therefore the thoracic surgeon should be part of the multidisciplinary team in every ovarian cancer center.
