Core Tip	The chief surgical problem to face after primary treatment is recurrent ovarian cancer. The role of surgery in recurrent ovarian cancer remains poorly defined. Current data, albeit from non-randomized studies, nevertheless clearly support surgical cytoreduction in selected patients, a rarely curative expedient that invariably yields a marked survival advantage over chemotherapy alone. Despite these findings, some consider it too early to adopt secondary cytoreduction as the standard care for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and a randomized study is needed.
