01Overview
- Surgery for gynaecological cancers
These cancers start in a woman’s womb (uterus), ovaries, cervix or nearby organs. Dr. Devi Singh does the surgery for these cancers.
Care is often shared with other doctors. These may be women’s health doctors and the teams for radiotherapy (high-energy rays) and chemotherapy (cancer medicines). This is so the plan suits each woman.

surgery in plain words.
- 01
Diagnosis first
An examination, ultrasound or other scans, and a biopsy (a small piece of tissue) help to confirm the diagnosis.
- 02
Removing the affected organs
Depending on the cancer, surgery may remove the womb, ovaries, tubes and nearby tissue. How much is removed depends on the findings.
- 03
Lymph nodes
Lymph nodes are small glands that filter body fluid. Those in the pelvis or belly may be removed or checked. This shows how far the disease has gone.

Surgery for spread within the belly
In some ovarian cancers, surgery aims to remove all visible disease from the belly. This is covered in the peritoneal surface section.
