Hello! Good Day! I've read your concerns and feel sorry for your wife.  The surgery might be necessary to get all remaining tumors and decrease the tumor load of your wife.  Ovarian cancer metastasis is really known to be messy and produce a lot of adhesions and metastasis.  Adhesions/metastasis can only be treated with surgery.  If I was the treating surgeon, tumor debunking, peritoniectomy, plus intro operative peritoneal chemotherapy (HI PEC) will ad Chat Doctor.  However, if the adhesions/metastasis are unresectable, palliative treatments will be the last option (colostomy for obstruction, tubes for feeding).
