Prognosticators of outcome at second-look laparotomy (SLL) were evaluated in 49 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma undergoing SLL. Residual tumor volume was found to be the most significant prognosticator of outcome, with initial tumor stage being of secondary importance. Grade of tumor play
## BACKGROUND. The recurrence rate of ovarian carcinoma is high even when a second-look laparotomy (SLL) is negative. In the current study, the accuracy of peritoneal cytology as an evaluation method of SLL was examined. ## METHODS. The positive SLL rate and the diagnostic accuracy of peritonea
