Concordance of a laparoscopic scoring algorithm with primary surgery findings in advanced stage ovarian cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic assessment of tumor burden is a feasible tool to predict R0 cytoreduction in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Concordance between PIV scores at laparoscopy and primary TRS varied by anatomic location, with the lowest concordance seen in predicting bowel infiltration.
