Beaven's surgery, or Beaven's laparotomy, is a surgical procedure used to remove malignant ovarian tumors. This operation was developed by American surgeon James Beaven in 1928, and since then it has become one of the most common treatments for ovarian cancer in the world.
The purpose of the operation is to remove the tumor and all its neighboring tissues, including lymph nodes that may be affected by cancer metastases. To perform the Biven operation, a laparoscopic method is used, which involves the use of a special instrument - a laparoscope. This allows the surgeon to see the tumor and surrounding tissue, which makes the operation safer and less traumatic for the patient.
After Beaven surgery, most patients experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, as they no longer suffer from cancer symptoms such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and tumor discharge.
