    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Adnexal abscesses require surgical intervention when medical therapy fails or for pelvic mass evaluation.
    • Conservative surgical approaches aim to preserve reproductive organs while treating the abscess.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of conservative surgical management for adnexal abscesses.
    • To assess the impact of conservative surgery on reproductive function and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 28 women treated with conservative surgery for adnexal abscesses between 1968 and 1974.
    • Procedures included unilateral adnexectomy, simple drainage, and bilateral medial ligation.

    Main Results:

    • Mean patient age was 29.9 years, with a mean parity of 1.2.

  • Common indications were failed medical therapy (16 cases) and pelvic mass exploration (12 cases).
  • Menstrual function was preserved in all survivors, with 62% retaining pregnancy potential.

    • Conclusions:

    • Conservative surgery for adnexal abscesses is associated with preserved reproductive function.
    • This approach appears to be an acceptable option for well-selected patients, even with potential complications.
    • Findings suggest conservative procedures are a viable alternative in developed countries for informed patients.
