Laparoscopic Management of Adnexal Torsion during Pregnancy in Dalal Jamm Hospital Center: A Case Report

Background: Adnexal torsion is a surgical emergency caused by the complete or partial rotation of the adnexa around its supporting ligaments. It typically presents with nonspecific symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and lower abdominal pain. During pregnancy, diagnosis is particularly challenging, as these symptoms may overlap with normal gestational complaints. A delayed diagnosis can result in adnexal necrosis, potentially compromising both maternal and fetal outcomes. Objective: We reported two cases of laparoscopic surgical management of adnexal torsion during pregnancy. Conclusion: In our context, the diagnosis and management of adnexal torsion during pregnancy remain significant challenges. This report aims to highlight the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic management in low-resource settings.
