Multicenter Study
Differentiated therapy in pre- and postmenopausal adnexal torsion based on malignancy rates: A retrospective multicentre study over five years.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical presentation, intra and postoperative outcomes in pre and postmenopausal women who underwent operations for adnexal torsion, and to define our experience diagnosing and managing postmenopausal women with adnexal torsion. ⋯ The malignancy rate was 16% in postmenopausal women with adnexal torsion. Thus, extensive surgeries are more common in postmenopausal women with adnexal torsion.
