Résumé
Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is very rare gynecological emergency in pediatric population. Our objective is to assess treatment options and discuss outcome of a cohort of IFTT with a focus on the association between IFTT and hydrosalpinx (HSX). A retrospective review was conducted. Pediatric patients with IFTT operated in the same center were included. Seventeen girls (aged: 11-16 years) were managed for acute abdominal pain between 2008 and 2018, with intraoperative diagnosis of IFTT. All patients underwent laparoscopic exploration, with laparoscopically fallopian tube detorsion in all patients. Based on the association of IFTT with HSX after fallopian tube detorsion, patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (IFTT without HSX; 12 girls) and group 2 (IFTT with HSX; 5 girls). During the same surgery, complementary surgical procedures were done. In group 1: salpingectomies (4), partial salpingectomies (2) and cystectomies (6) were done. In group 2: salpingectomy (1), salpingotomy (1), and cyst ablation (1). The treatment was called conservative when the tube was preserved.Follow-up was uneventful in group 1. In group 2, for all patients with initial fallopian tube preservation, further surgical procedures were necessary (1-4 surgeries/patient), and, finally, another 3 patients required salpingectomy. Conservative treatment with tube preservation of IFTT without HSX appeared to be beneficial compared to those with HSX, with no recurrence of torsion or symptoms during the follow-up. However, the same conservative treatment was not sufficiently effective for IFTT with HSX and required further procedures due to recurrence of torsion. IV.

RESULTS
RESULTS
Seventeen girls (aged: 11-16 years) were managed for acute abdominal pain between 2008 and 2018, with intraoperative diagnosis of IFTT. All patients underwent laparoscopic exploration, with laparoscopically fallopian tube detorsion in all patients. Based on the association of IFTT with HSX after fallopian tube detorsion, patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (IFTT without HSX; 12 girls) and group 2 (IFTT with HSX; 5 girls). During the same surgery, complementary surgical procedures were done. In group 1: salpingectomies (4), partial salpingectomies (2) and cystectomies (6) were done. In group 2: salpingectomy (1), salpingotomy (1), and cyst ablation (1). The treatment was called conservative when the tube was preserved.Follow-up was uneventful in group 1. In group 2, for all patients with initial fallopian tube preservation, further surgical procedures were necessary (1-4 surgeries/patient), and, finally, another 3 patients required salpingectomy.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Conservative treatment with tube preservation of IFTT without HSX appeared to be beneficial compared to those with HSX, with no recurrence of torsion or symptoms during the follow-up. However, the same conservative treatment was not sufficiently effective for IFTT with HSX and required further procedures due to recurrence of torsion.
