Comparative StudyManagement of Adnexal Torsion: A 13-Year Experience in Single Tertiary Center.
Adnexal torsion constitutes 2.7% of gynecological emergencies, it is more frequently seen in reproductive age. Delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to loss of the ovary. In this study, we aimed to assess patients who had adnexal torsion and compare laparoscopy with laparotomy in the treatment of these patients and point the most appropriate surgery according to age groups of the patients and comparison of patient characteristics and management between adnexal torsion in postmenopausal and premenopausal patients. ⋯ Laparoscopic surgery is preferred for young patients who want to preserve their fertility, but postmenopausal ovarian masses presenting with torsion should be analyzed with frozen section whenever possible, if not possible or not conclusive, staging surgery is more appropriate especially if there is suspicion of malignancy.
