Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the abdominal CT types, surgical methods, obstruction recurrence rate and postoperative chemotherapy rate in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and malignant bowel obstruction (MBO).Methods:The clinical data of 43 patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and MBO from September 30, 2021 to December 31, 2024 in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Intestinal surgical plans were determined based on abdominal CT classification and intraoperative conditions. The imaging data, surgical conditions, occurrence of severe complications within 30 d after surgery and mortality within 30 d after surgery were recorded. The patients were followed up once a month until February 28, 2025, and the obstruction recurrence rate and chemotherapy rate were recorded.Results:Among the 43 patients, the abdominal CT types were as follows: 9 cases (20.9%) of isolated recurrence type, 25 cases (58.2%) of non-infiltrating proximal small intestine type, 8 cases (18.6%) of infiltrating proximal small intestine type, and 1 case (2.3%) of other types. Two patients underwent exploratory laparotomy; 41 patients completed the intended surgical treatment, including 5 cases of intestinal intubation ostomy, 2 cases of pull-through ostomy, 2 cases of bypass surgery, 26 cases of resection + ostomy, and 6 cases of resection + anastomosis. After surgery, 19 cases (43.2%) resumed partial enteral nutrition, and 16 cases (37.2%) achieved complete enteral nutrition. The incidence of severe postoperative complications within 30 d after surgery was 9.3% (4/43). Obstructive symptoms such as abdominal distension were relieved in 41 cases (95.3%). The mortality within 30 d after surgery was 7.0% (3/43), the obstruction recurrence rate was 7.0% (3/43), and the chemotherapy rate was 76.7% (33/43). By the end of follow-up, 7 patients were still alive.Conclusions:Recurrent ovarian cancer complicated by MBO is a high-risk disease. Identifying patients who may benefit can improve the relief rate of obstructive symptoms such as abdominal distension, reduce the obstruction recurrence rate, and increase the chemotherapy rate.
