Role of Oophoropexy in Pediatric Primary Ovarian Torsion without Adnexal Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Topic overview
This systematic review examines whether oophoropexy (surgical ovarian fixation) effectively prevents recurrent torsion in pediatric patients with primary ovarian torsion—a condition where a structurally normal ovary twists without underlying masses. The analysis addresses a critical gap in managing this high-recurrence condition in children.
Key takeaways
- - Primary ovarian torsion occurs in morphologically normal ovaries without adnexal masses and has high recurrence risk. - Oophoropexy may prevent recurrent torsion by surgically fixing the ovary, but evidence for its effectiveness is unclear. - Systematic review needed to clarify whether oophoropexy should be standard practice in pediatric POT management.
