Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical findings, evolution of treatment and ovarian function following conservative therapy. STUDY DESIGN: A case series of 45 patients presenting with adnexal torsion between January 1989 and June 1999. All patients were surgically treated, either conservatively or radically. Patients who had received conservative treatment, interviewed by phone and underwent ovarian sonographic examination. RESULTS: Adnexal torsion is more frequent in young women with adnexal pathology. Conservative therapy by laparoscopy has gained increasing preference as a surgical procedure. It is safe and preserves ovarian function. CONCLUSIONS: Conservative therapy by laparoscopy is recommended to preserve ovarian function in young women.
