The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic management of adnexal torsion. Early minimal invasive surgical management of adnexal torsion with the main emphasis on an organ-preserving procedure can safely be recommended. Although the incidence of adnexal torsions has increased, the morbidity rate has declined due to safer diagnostics and operative strategies. This is a retrospective case-control study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3) of 33 cases of adnexal torsion over an 11-year period (December 1999-September 2010) in a gynecologic endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Interventions include early diagnostic laparoscopy and utmost protection of the surrounding tissue. Thirty-three cases of laparoscopically managed adnexal torsions were analyzed. Fifty-two percent had conservative organ-sparing procedures, while 48 % underwent resection of ovary, tube, or both. The mean operating time was 69.2 min. There were no complications or conversions to laparotomy. The most common predisposing factor was an adnexal mass with symptoms of pain. Torsion on the right tube is more common than on the left. Laparoscopic surgery is an effective, safe, and feasible method in the diagnosis and treatment of adnexal torsion.

“…Ovarian torsion has been found to represent between 2.5-7.4% of all cases of acute abdomen (Anteby et al 1975;Hibbard 1985). Thus, it is not uncommon for the diagnosis to be made only after emergent diagnostic laparoscopy (Mage et al 1989;Porpora and Gomel 1997). Some reports have observed that elevated levels of D-dimer, IL-6, and TNF in preoperative blood work may accompany torsion of ovarian tumor, but to date no specific marker has been established (Descargues et al 2001;Chiou et al 2007).…”

“…In the treatment of torsion of ovarian tumor, some studies have recommended diagnostic laparoscopy as a first phase, to release the torsion, followed by a definitive surgery for the ovarian tumor as the second phase (Mage et al 1989;Reich et al 1992;Porpora and Gomel 1997;Argenta et al 2000). Torsion of an ovarian tumor is an emergency that often requires surgery without extensive preoperative evaluation.…”

Most cases of ovarian torsion require emergency surgery; the ovary has become necrotic and cannot be conserved. Preoperative determination of the ovarian necrosis extent is difficult but it may increase the likelihood of the ovary conservation. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the findings in ovarian torsion among patients with ovarian tumors who underwent emergency surgery at a single hospital for possible preoperative indicators of ovarian viability. We thus evaluated 77 patients who were intraoperatively diagnosed with torsion of ovarian tumor between 1995 and 2010. These patients were classified into three groups depending on the postoperative histopathological findings: necrotic, congestive, and normal. Preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level, leukocyte count, and body temperature, along with tumor size, degree of torsion, time from the onset of abdominal pain to surgery, and incidence of acute abdomen were compared among the three groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the preoperative serum CRP levels for ovarian necrosis were calculated. The CRP level, degree of torsion, and time from the onset of abdominal pain to surgery were significantly higher in the necrotic group than in the normal group. The sensitivity and specificity of the CRP level for necrosis were 35% and 83%, respectively, and positive and negative predictive values were 38% and 82% respectively. The potential for ovary conservation in suspected ovarian torsion should be greater if the tumor is non-malignant, the time from the onset of abdominal pain to operation is short, and the CRP level is < 0.3 mg/dl.

Clinical indices and histological changes over time in ovarian torsion related to ovarian tumors

et al. 2011

In some emergency surgeries for ovarian torsion, the ovary cannot be conserved because of necrosis. Ovarian necrosis and the time from the onset of symptoms to surgery are likely to be directly correlated. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical indices from the time of onset of acute abdomen to surgery at our hospital, in patients with tumor-related ovarian torsion. Among cases diagnosed preoperatively with benign ovarian tumors between 1995 and 2010, there were 54 patients who developed acute abdomen that was surgically diagnosed as ovarian torsion. For evaluation, these patients were divided into two groups according to the time from the onset of acute abdomen to surgical intervention as follows: <10 and ≥10 h. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, leukocyte counts, body temperature, tumor size, and degree of torsion were compared between the two patient groups. Ovarian status based on postoperative histopathology was classified as necrotic, congestive, or normal, and was also evaluated. The mean CRP level was significantly higher in the ≥10-h patient group than in the patients undergoing surgery in <10 h. No differences were observed between the two groups for leukocyte counts, body temperature, tumor size, and mean degree of torsion. Ovarian necrosis was only observed only in patients undergoing surgery at ≥10 h. When tumorrelated ovarian torsion is suspected, surgery should be performed within 10 h after the onset of acute abdomen to conserve ovarian function.
