Description
Greg Marchand and co-authors pool studies on ovarian torsion surgery in young patients in a 2024 meta-analysis. Ovarian torsion twists the ovary and needs fast care. A gentle laparoscopic approach untwists it and may add cyst removal or ovary fixing. The team searches many databases for studies in children and teens.
Outcomes include recurrence, switch to open surgery, ovary removal, and later ovary function on ultrasound. Recurrence appears in a small share of cases across five studies, they report. Conversion to open surgery is also uncommon. The pooled work aims to show how safe and effective the conservative route is for young patients.
