Conservative surgery for ovarian torsion in young women: perioperative complications and national trends.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyse populational trends and perioperative complications following conservative surgery versus oophorectomy in women <50 years of age with ovarian torsion.

Design

Population-based retrospective observational study.

Setting

Nationwide Inpatient Sample in the USA (2001-2015).

Population

In all, 89 177 ovarian torsions including 20 597 (23.1%) conservative surgeries and 68 580 (76.9%) oophorectomies.

Methods

(1) Trend analysis to assess utilisation of conservative surgery over time, (2) multivariable binary logistic regression to identify independent factors associated with conservative surgery and (3) inverse probability of treatment weighting with a generalised estimating equation to analyze perioperative complications.
