Laparotomy versus laparoscopy for the treatment of adnexal torsion during pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adnexal torsion (AT) is a rare emergency complication during pregnancy. Increasing evidence implies that operative laparoscopy for adnexal torsion performed during pregnancy could be safe and feasible. We procured and evaluated the surgical and obstetric outcomes between laparoscopy and laparotomy to determine the optimal approach for treating AT during pregnancy.

Methods

This was a retrospective study involving telephone questionnaire on adnexal torsion during pregnancy that occurred between July 2012 and July 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The study cohort included 155 pregnant women who underwent laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. The clinical characteristics, surgical interventions, postoperative pathology and pregnancy outcome
