Fallopian tube detorsion in near‐term pregnancy: a laparoscopic approach

Abstract

Objective Torsion of the fallopian tube during pregnancy is infrequent and difficult to diagnose. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can avoid not only permanent damage to the tube but also obstetric complications. We report on a laparoscopic technique for the treatment of fallopian tube torsion in the third trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion Open laparoscopy, with lateral tilting of the patient can be considered as an additional method for treatment of twisted fallopian tube or adnexa up until near‐term pregnancy.
