Abstract
AIM: To improve the outcomes in children with ovarian torsion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three clinical observations of patients with ovarian torsion are presented. Duration of the disease was 3-4 days. All children underwent organ-sparing surgery including untwisting followed by ovariopexy. RESULTS: All children were examined in early and late postoperative period (up to 5 years) after organ-sparing procedures. Ultrasonic picture of the ovaries including structure and dimensions corresponded to age, the follicles were determined. CONCLUSION: 'Conservative' approach allows to preserve anatomical structure and potential for reproductive function.
