Department missions
Care
Our mission is to ensure surgical care for patients presenting with gynaecological cancer (uterus, cervix, ovaries, vulva).
The Centre François Baclesse is an acknowledged regional reference care centre for rare tumours of the ovary and peritoneum (TMRO network).
Surgical care is an integral part of global care in oncology, and is defined in a collegial manner with all cancer specialists during MDT (multidisciplinary team) meetings.
Our surgeons’ expertise enables us to care not only for patients undergoing initial surgery, but also in the case of recurrence, complex surgery and salvage surgery.
During the post-operative phase, early recovery adapted to each patient remains a priority for our medical and paramedical professionals, in order to facilitate rapid recovery (ERAS).
Our mission also includes working in close collaboration with scientific research laboratories (BioTICLA) in order to better understand, diagnose and treat pelvic cancers in women.
We also ensure continuity in training for medical students, nursing students and interns in gynaecology and obstetrics.

The department’s equipment and facilities
Advances in surgical techniques and equipment mean that we can now perform most intra-abdominal surgery via mini-invasive routes, in other words, by traditional or robot-assisted coelioscopy.
Since 2013, we have been routinely using robot-assisted coelioscopy for endometrial or cervical cancers diagnosed at an early stage.
These ‘mini-invasive’ surgical techniques, compared to standard laparotomy, offer improved post-operative comfort, decreased levels of post-operative complications, improved recovery and shorter hospital stays.
In the case of surgery via classical routes – laparotomy – peri-operative anaesthetic and analgesic care enable potential pain related to the surgical procedure to be controlled and and post-operative comfort to be improved for the patient.
Equipment
- Coelioscopy (Storz)
- Da Vinci X robot
