It is with great pleasure that we present the current special issue ‘Laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cancer: limits and potentials’. The special issue through surgical technique articles shows many aspects of ovarian cancer treatment. Different laparoscopic approaches have been described including classic laparoscopy, mini-laparoscopy, and robotic surgery. Moreover, some major minimally invasive surgery complications have been shown, such as vascular complication during staging lymphadenectomy for early-stage ovarian cancer patient. Finally, the role of laparoscopic surgery in isolated recurrence treatment of ovarian cancer has also been addressed.
