Clinical and morphological specificities of the adnexal torsion in girls and adolescents

Adnexal torsion (ADT) still remains one of the more important problems among the emergency diseases in pediatric gynecology. ADT in both intact and compromised by tumors and similar to tumor masses of the adnexa can be present in girls and adolescents.

Objective: To determine clinical and morphological ADT changes in girls belonging to different age groups.

Study Design: During our study lasting from 2010 to 2019 52 patients were examined, all of them had surgical treatment because of ADT. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 was formed by 2-12 years girls (n=18), group 2 – 13-17 years adolescents (n=34). The study was performed using objective, clinical and biochemical data and instrumental examination, histological research of the remedies.

Results: It was established that the intact ADT was in 18 patients (it was higher twice in Group 1 rather than Group 2). At the same time, ADT compromised by tumors and similar to tumor masses of the adnexa was found in 34 cases (it was higher twice in Group 2 rather than Group 1). There were follicular cyst (11 cases), paratubal cyst (8), corpus luteum cyst (8), teratoma (3), serous cystadenoma (2), paraovarian cyst (2) according to histology results. 26 organ-saving (50%) and 26 radical surgeries (50%) were performed in both groups respectively, detailed: 4 detorsions, 22 detorsions with cystectomy, 8 detorsions with subsequent ovariectomy, 1 detorsion with tubectomy, 17 detorsions with adnexectomy. Organ-saving operations included intraoperative evaluation of adnexal tissue status. Detorsion was performed provided with the saved blood flow and the absence of necrosis, whereas both absence of blood flow and the presence of necrosis regions lead to the adnexal removal.

Conclusions: The study has made possible to establish that intact ADT prevails among the younger girls due to anatomical and physiological features as well as because of a more mobile lifestyle which is more typical for this age group. Compromised ADT has taken one of the leading positions among the teenage girls. Our study demonstrates that organ-saving laparoscopy is an effective method for ADT treatment, which can help to save the reproductive activity of future mothers.
