Liver resection for metastases arising from recurrent granulosa cell tumour of the ovary--a case series.

Ovarian granulosa cell tumours (GCT) occur rarely and represent 2-3% of all ovarian tumours. Regarded as tumours with low malignant potential and renowned for late recurrences, these tumours occasionally metastasize to the liver. We present our experience with three patients who underwent secondary cytoreductive surgery including liver resection for recurrence of the disease resulting in greatly improved quality of life and disease-free interval.

Use of surgical sealant in debulking surgery for advanced ovarian carcinoma--case report.

Haemostatic sealants are frequently used in gynaecological surgery. Several commercial products are available with similar mechanisms of action and chemical structure. We report the use of Floseal in a laparotomy for ovarian cancer to achieve haemostasis. This is the first reported case with the successful use of Floseal in gynaecological oncology.
