A new type of abdominal incision for emergencies in pregnancy: a case report
Abstract
Adnexal torsion in pregnancy is a rare gynecologic emergency that causes severe abdominal pain. The current paper reports a case of a woman with 18 weeks pregnancy who was referred to our tertiary clinic with sudden lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound scan showed a very large multicystic adnexal torsion mass on the right side displacing the gravid uterus to the anterior left. An oblique paramedian incision was made for right salpingo-oophorectomy. To our knowledge the incision presented in this case has not been described in the literature previously. We suggest an alternative incision to be used during pregnancy especially for emergencies due to an adnexal mass.
