Ghost Ileostomy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer: A Reliable Option

Conclusions To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first study in which GI has been performed for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer. Ghost ileostomy represents a real option that may reduce the number of ileostomies performed in ovarian cancer without increasing the morbimortality. Ghost ileostomy presents the advantages of DI while avoiding its drawbacks. It also seems to be a safe, feasible, and reproducible technique that does not add significant costs to the surgery.
