Preservation vs. Resection? Pediatric and Non-Pediatric Management Patterns in Ovarian Torsion
Management of OT in Germany varies markedly by department and hospital type. PD and UM treat more younger patients but perform oophorectomy more frequently, whereas Non-PD and Non-UM favor laparoscopic, ovary-sparing strategies. These differences highlight the urgent need for standardized, evidence-based protocols prioritizing ovarian preservation and optimizing long-term outcomes in affected children and adolescents.
