Background: Data regarding the management of adnexal torsion (AT) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are scarce.

Objectives: To study the effects of actions to limit the spread of COVID-19 on AT management.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all women who underwent laparoscopy for suspected AT between March 2011 and February 2021.

We aimed at studying isolated Fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) in a relatively large cohort of women and to evaluate different features of IFTT in comparison to a large cohort of women with non-IFTT adnexal torsion (NIAT). This was a retrospective cohort study. We included women with surgically confirmed ovarian and/or Fallopian tube torsion between March 2011 and June 2020.

Aim: Recurrence of adnexal torsion (rAT) is reported mainly in small series. Normal and small appearing ovaries are associated with an increased risk for rAT. Nevertheless, updated data of larger cohorts is lacking.

Purpose: To develop a simple predictive model for pre-operative diagnosis of adnexal torsion (AT).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study with a retrospective validation, including 669 separate episodes of women who underwent laparoscopy due to a suspected AT between January 2011 and June 2020. We compared the pre-operative characteristics between women with surgically confirmed AT and those without.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of children and adolescents that underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for suspected adnexal torsion (AT), and to develop a prediction model for preoperative detection of AT among young women.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study. We included all girls ≤18 years old with clinically suspected AT who underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy between 3/2011 and 6/2020.

Objective: To develop a risk score for preoperative prediction of recurrent adnexal torsion (rAT) among women with a history of previous adnexal torsion (AT).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study. We included women with a history of AT, presenting with suspected rAT who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy between March 2011 and March 2020.

Study Objective: Cesarean scar defect (CSD) is often associated with postmenstrual bleeding, infertility, and pain. Hysteroscopic CSD repair was described in the past, mainly as excision of the proximal edge of the defect to allow continuous blood flow during menstruation. In this study we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of extensive hysteroscopic cesarean scar niche excision in symptomatic patients.
