Influence of ovarian torsion on reproductive outcomes and mode of delivery.
PURPOSE: To investigate differences in reproductive outcomes among patients before and following ovarian torsion.
STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the reproductive outcomes of patients who underwent surgery for ovarian torsion between 1988 and 2015 in a tertiary medical center. Data on deliveries before and after ovarian torsion were compared.
RESULTS: During the study period, 199 women underwent surgery due to ovarian torsion. The majority (91.4%; n = 182) underwent detorsion, and 8.6% ( n = 17) underwent unilateral adnexectomy. At the time of the torsion, 27.6% ( n = 55) of patients were pregnant. Among women who suffered from ovarian torsion, about half (52%) of the deliveries occurred before the torsion and 48% following the torsion. No significant difference in the live birth rate was noted ( p = 0.19). The fertility treatment rate in our cohort was 7.5% before and 5% after the torsion ( p = 0.01). In addition, live birth, cesarean delivery, and fertility treatment rates were similar in women who underwent detorsion vs. those who had adnexectomy.
CONCLUSION: Surgically treated ovarian torsion does not appear to negatively influence fertility and live birth potential.
