Introduction: Current literature strongly recommends ovarian preservation for pediatric patients with ovarian torsion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate national trends in the surgical management of pediatric ovarian torsion and to compare outcomes between pediatric surgeons (PED) and gynecologists (GYN).
Methods: We queried Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) data from 2007 to 2011 for patients <18years old with a diagnosis of ovarian torsion who underwent a surgical procedure.
