Laparoscopic management of adnexal torsion. A review of 35 cases

G Mage et al. J Reprod Med. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

Laparoscopic management was used for 35 cases of adnexal torsion. Since early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to preserve the adnexa, laparoscopy is the best procedure for diagnosing this rare condition. In 27 cases (77%) conservative treatment was carried out, with only 1 recurrence. Complete laparoscopic treatment was achieved in 27 cases (77%), including 3 of endoscopic salpingectomy. Laparotomy was indicated in cases of gangrenous adnexa, organic ovarian cyst and unusual ovarian attachment.
