Antonella Clerici, how she is after ovarian surgery. The surgeon speaks: «It all started from a cyst, we are waiting for the histological examination». After the emergency operation to which Antonella Clerici underwent last week, “there are not many fears for the final diagnosis” of her ovarian problem. However, the histological results are awaited and “will be available in 2 weeks”. But the experience “presumes a reassuring outcome”, explains the surgeon who operated on the presenter to Adnkronos Salute, Enrico Vizzamember of the board of directors of the Italian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Sigo) and director of the Department of Clinical and Oncology Research of theRegina Elena Tumor Institute From Rome.
The intervention
«The surgery went very well. It was performed laparoscopically, with very small instruments, 3 millimeters, with a very small scar. From an aesthetic point of view, in practice, nothing will be seen”, says the surgeon, recalling that “everything arose from an ovarian cyst whose ultrasound image had changed in recent months, so it was necessary to intervene very quickly to have an examination histological, still in progress, capable of indicating the nature of the formation. We will only have definitive confirmation in the next few weeks.” The danger, however, “has receded in a certain sense, fears are low on an oncological level”.
Early diagnosis
A story, continues Vizza, which “demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis”. And also that of prevention for women. Women’s health is much more complex than that of men, they must undergo more checks on a regular basis. Particularly in some moments of life – menopause and perimenopause in particular – in which the incidence of some tumors increases: uterus, endometrium, ovary, breast, colon”. Antonella Clerici’s story, concludes the specialist, «shows that checks are necessary even if there is an alteration that seems benign: you still need to keep it under control and not be afraid to check. We must remember that today we are able to carry out interventions, even complex ones, with a very limited impact in terms of scar and quality of life.”
