Recent advances of laparoscopic approach in adnexal torsion of premenarcheal girls

Authors: Costas Panayotidis, Michelle Nisolle

Abstract

The adnexal torsion is an uncommon gynaecological emergency; however, it must be excluded in young girls in order to conserve their future ovarian function and fertility. The diagnosis of adnexal torsion is particularly difficult in girls before the menarche during which time the clinical examination is very delicate. We review the recent literature and laparoscopic advances in this domain and propose a management algorithm.
