AB Box  29-1Master  Surgeon's  CornerComplete  surgical  staging  including  lymph  node  dissection,  omentectomy,  appendectomy,  and  staging  biopsies  should  be  performed  for  all  patients  with  apparent  early-stage  epithelial  ovarian  carcinomas  because  nearly  a  third  of  patients  will  have  metastatic  disease  that  was  not  appreciated  visually  or  by  palpation.The  extent  of  surgical  staging  for  endometrial  carcinoma  remains  controversial  as  to  when  pelvic  and/or  para-aortic  lymph  nodes  should  be  removed.  Surgeons  managing  patients  with  endometrial  carcinoma  should  be  prepared  for  the  possibility  of  performing  these  procedures  in  all  cases.Accurate  and  complete  surgical  staging  is  a  crucial  part  of  managing  patients  with  gynecologic  malignancies  and  allows  for  appropriate  informed  discussions  regarding  further  interventions  and  accurate  risk  stratifi  cation  of  patients  on  clinical  trials.
