Adnexal torsion.

L T Hibbard

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |June 15, 1985

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Adnexal torsion diagnosis is challenging, often delaying surgery and impacting adnexa salvage rates. Laparoscopy can reduce unnecessary exploratory surgeries for suspected adnexal torsion.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Diagnosis
    • Pelvic Surgery

    Background:

    • Adnexal torsion is a gynecological emergency with diagnostic challenges.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to loss of ovarian or fallopian tube function.
    • Malignant neoplasms are rarely associated with adnexal torsion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of adnexal torsion and misdiagnosed torsion.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic uncertainty and its impact on surgical intervention.
    • To assess the effectiveness of laparoscopy in managing suspected adnexal torsion.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 128 adnexal torsion cases.
    • Review of 97 cases with incorrect preoperative torsion diagnosis.
    • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Diagnostic uncertainty frequently delays surgical intervention for adnexal torsion.
    • Adnexal salvage rates are low, even without malignancy.
    • Laparoscopy effectively reduces the need for laparotomy in uncertain cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Improving the diagnostic accuracy of adnexal torsion is crucial.
    • Laparoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing adnexal torsion, minimizing unnecessary laparotomies.
    • Early surgical intervention, facilitated by diagnostic tools like laparoscopy, can improve adnexal salvage.
