Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Sequential bilateral torsion of the uterine adnexa in a young girl led to right and, subsequently, left salpingo-oophorectomy. Acute lower abdominal pain in a young female patient, especially one who has had previous similar episodes, should alert the physician to the possible presence of adnexal torsion. If possible, surgical management of this condition should be conservative--that is, the blood supply should be restored to the adnexa and a viable tube or ovary should be preserved. Contralateral adnexal suspension should always be done, in an effort to prevent bilateral adnexal torsion and to preserve the reproductive potential in these young patients. |
