Adnexal torsion is an uncommon but important cause of emergency admission to the gynaecologist. Treatment of adnexal torsion has traditionally involved surgical excision of the affected structure, usually via laparotomy. A more conservative surgical approach of untwisting the torsion has been widely reported in paediatric cases. Despite reports of the successful treatment of torsion with this approach in the adult population, many UK surgeons remain reluctant to attempt ovarian conserving surgery, particularly via the laparoscopic route.We report six cases of conservative surgery for adnexal torsion. After initial success via laparotomy, the subsequent five cases were managed laparoscopically. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this management approach.

Dr. North goes to the root of the matter with facts and figures, and shows lack of coöperation, coördination and organization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
