Ovarian torsion: A case series

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyse risk factors, surgical outcomes, ovarian salvage rate, and mass histopathology. Objectives of the study was to draw the attention to the clinical, sonographic, surgical, and pathological signs and symptoms and characteristics of histologically proven ovarian torsion instances.Method: This study took place at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences in Narketpally from July 2021 to July 2022. Retrospective analyses of demographic, clinicopathological, surgical, and sonographic data were performed on 16 patients with ovarian torsion who underwent surgery. All instances of sudden, severe, acute abdomen pain were looked at clinically and radiologically. After receiving the findings, emergency surgery was performed.Result: 31 was the mean age. Pelvis or abdominal pain was the major complaint in our investigation. A pre-existing ovarian mass is a significant risk factor for torsion. 60% had emergent exploratory laparotomy, 40% laparoscopic operation. 40% had cystectomy, 60% oophorectomy. Most prevalent was serous cystadenoma.Conclusion: Study shows that ovarian torsion causes abdominal or pelvic pain. Pre-existing ovarian mass is a risk factor for torsion. Ovarian torsion can develop at any age. Ultrasound imaging is most frequently used to assess torsion but confirmative diagnosis by intraoperative finding. To preserve ovarian tissue, act quickly.
