Effect of Simultaneous Cystectomy on Ovarian Reserve in Cases of Adnexal Detorsion

Completed

• Conditions: Ovarian Torsion

• Registration Number: NCT05702099
• Lead Sponsor: Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

There are mostly ovarian cysts under adnexal torsion from gynecological emergencies. There are many studies in the literature examining the effect of adnexal detorsion on ovarian reserve. However, there is no study in the literature examining the effect of concomitant cystectomy. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate whether the cystectomy procedure performed together with detorsion has an additional effect on the ovarian reserve in cases of ovarian torsion with cysts.

Detailed Description

All women who underwent emergency surgery in the investigators' obstetrics and gynecology department since April 2015 due to adnexal torsion were analyzed. All patients who underwent ovarian detorsion (Group 1) and ovarian detorsion+cystectomy (Group 2) were called for control between 6-12 months postoperatively. In all patients, the sizes of both ovaries and the number of antral follicles were counted by ultrasonography by 2 physicians who did not know the detorsion side beforehand. All women will be compared within and between groups in terms of ovarian sizes and antral follicle numbers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Ovarian volume difference between groups	postoperative 6-12 months	To analyze whether there is a difference between the ovarian reserve parameters of women who underwent detorsion and detorsion+cystectomy. With ultrasonographic imaging, both ovaries will be evaluated for ovarian volume ( V = length × width × height × π/6) (cm3). Both the affected ovary will be compared with the contralateral ovary and the affected ovaries will be compared between groups.
The number of antral follicles difference between groups	postoperative 6-12 months	To analyze whether there is a difference between the ovarian reserve parameters of women who underwent detorsion and detorsion+cystectomy. With ultrasonographic imaging, both ovaries will be evaluated for the number of antral follicles. Both the affected ovary will be compared with the contralateral ovary and the affected ovaries will be compared between groups.
