Fertility-sparing surgery and reproductive-outcomes in patients with borderline ovarian tumors.

CONCLUSION: FSS in stage I is a safe procedure and life-birth-rates after FSS are high. More advanced FIGO stages have to be discussed individually and relapse rates have to be weighed against FSS. A central review of pathology, as we performed routinely, is mandatory and may have contributed to our low rate of invasive relapses.
