We aim to explore the alterations of objective ocular torsion after unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection (R&R) for intermittent exotropia (IXT). Seventy-two IXT patients undergoing R&R between March and June 2023 were enrolled. Ophthalmological examinations were performed before surgery and at 1 week and 1 month after surgery, mainly including prism and alternate cover test and optical coherence tomography. The mean disc-foveal angle of eyes showing intorsion significantly increased from - 1.5 ± 0.9° preoperatively to 2.0 ± 2.0° at 1 week (P = 0.0227) and 2.2 ± 1.6° at 1 month postoperatively (P = 0.0054). The mean disc-foveal angle of eyes exhibiting extorsion significantly reduced from 12.8 ± 1.9° preoperatively to 9.8 ± 3.1° at 1 week (P < 0.0001) and 9.7 ± 2.7° at 1 month postoperatively (P < 0.0001). The improvement of ocular extorsion at postoperative 1 month was more pronounced in patients with extorsion in operative eye compared to those with extorsion in inoperative eye (P = 0.0101). The improvement of ocular torsion was observed following R&R for IXT, with a greater effect noted in cases where the surgery was performed on the eye exhibiting extorsion.

A 5-year-old female spayed Dogue de Bordeaux was referred for concerns of an abdominal mass and peritoneal effusion. Abdominal radiographs identified a mid-ventral abdominal soft tissue opaque mass containing a radiopaque marker consistent with a gossypiboma. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT identified two whirl signs associated with the abdominal gossypiboma. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed an omental torsion with encapsulated gossypiboma and concurrent incidental torsion of the remnant of the right broad ligament. Based on a literature review, omental torsions are an unreported complication of gossypibomas in canids.

The aim of this case report is to describe a lobar torsion after elective pulmonary resection. This is a rare but potentially fatal condition in which the lung rotates on its own axis. Although this condition may occur spontaneously, it most often follows lobectomy. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential to prevent complications. Treatment is surgical, and involves repositioning the lung in a physiological position. However, the presence of ischaemic lesions may lead to the resection of the lung portion concerned.
Le but de cet article est de décrire le cas d'une torsion pulmonaire survenue après une résection pulmonaire élective. C'est une affection rare, mais potentiellement mortelle, qui se traduit par une rotation du poumon sur son propre axe. Bien que cette affection puisse survenir de manière spontanée, elle apparaît le plus souvent dans les suites d'une lobectomie. Un diagnostic précoce et une intervention chirurgicale rapides sont essentiels afin de prévenir les complications. Le traitement est chirurgical et consiste à repositionner le poumon en position physiologique. Toutefois, la présence de lésions ischémiques peut conduire à une résection plus large de la portion pulmonaire concernée.

The etiology of OT is largely unknown. Any predisposition to rotation of the infundibulopelvic ligament and utero-ovarian ligament should be considered a possible etiology. Information with respect to ovarian torsion (OT) among pregnant is underreported and based on small studies. We aim to compare characteristics of confirmed OT to laparoscopies performed for the indication of suspected OT, in which no OT was found among pregnant women. This is a retrospective case-control study. We included pregnant women who underwent laparoscopy for a suspected OT between March 2011 and August 2020. Pregnant women with confirmed OT (torsion group) were compared to those without (no torsion group). There were 169 women with suspected OT. OT was confirmed in 140 (82.8%) women. There was higher proportion of assisted reproductive technology (ART) gestation in the torsion group [76 (54.3%) vs. 5 (17.2%), p < 0.001]. The rate of pregnant approaching evaluation within 8 h of symptoms onset was higher in the torsion group [57 (40.7%) vs. 2 (6.9%), p < 0.001]. The mean visual analogue score (VAS) was higher in the torsion group (8.5 vs. 7.1, p = 0.002). The mean pulse was lower in the torsion group (79 vs. 88 bpm, p < 0.001). From sonographic characteristics examined, the following was higher in the torsion group; mean maximal size of the ovary (70 mm in the torsion group vs. 54 mm in the no torsion group, p = 0.011). In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, number of hours of symptoms was negatively associated with AT [aOR, 95% CI 0.95 (0.91-0.98)] and pulse was negatively associated with OT [aOR, 95% CI 0.78 (0.63-0.95)]. Among the 29 cases in which no OT was found during laparoscopy, the following findings were noted: 16 (55.2%) no abnormality at all, 5 (17.2%) functional ovarian cyst, 2 (6.9%) mature teratoma and 6 cases of peritoneal adhesions (20.7%). The time from pain onset to approaching evaluation and women's pulse should be considered and acknowledged in the evaluation of OT during pregnancy.

The aim of this study was to describe a case of ovarian torsion necrosis due to delayed treatment of luteoma in a woman with IVF twin pregnancy who was misdiagnosed with acute appendicitis. We summarized the clinical manifestations and diagnosis of luteoma in a woman with IVF twin pregnancy and reviewed the relevant literature. We report the case of a 34-year-old Asian female who became pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and had acute right underbelly pain at 26 weeks and 6 days of gestation, which was misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. Written consent was obtained from the patient. After fasting for a short duration and receiving anti-inflammatory and intravenous fluid replacement treatment after admission, the woman experienced increased right lower abdominal pain without relief and decreased fetal movement. B-ultrasound and CT examination showed that luteoma torsion was possible, and we performed emergency surgical laparotomy. During the operation, it was found that the right ovary was enlarged, the fallopian tube was twisted 720 degrees, and there was no lesion in the appendix. The right necrotic ovary was removed, and pathological results showed a hemorrhagic corpus luteum in the right ovary. The patient's abdominal pain was relieved after the operation and the pregnancy was continued. This is a typical case of ovariectomy associated with a luteoma of pregnancy. Whether in vitro fertilization and related procedures increase the risk of luteoma and whether they increase the risk of ovarian torsion necrosis in the case of luteoma formation are questions that need further study.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for recurrent ovarian torsion and evaluation of the efficacy of oophoropexy techniques. DESIGN: Case control study. SETTING: Tertiary university-affiliated medical center. PATIENTS: A total of 79 women with recurrent ovarian torsion (study group) were matched with 158 women with a single episode of ovarian torsion (control group). INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopic detorsion and oophoropexy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Demographic data, clinical characteristics, ultrasound characteristics, surgical findings, surgical procedures, and torsion recurrence rates were analyzed and compared between the 2 groups between 2001 to 2020. RESULTS: There was an inverse association between women's age and the risk of recurrent torsion (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-0.96, p = .003). Moreover, in women younger than 20 years, the risk of recurrent event was substantially higher (aOR, 5.0; 95% CI, 1.56-6.15, p = .007). In addition, the absence of ovarian pathology was associated with increased risk for recurrent torsion (aOR, 14.3; 95% CI, 6.15-33.42; p <.001). Oophoropexy was performed in 46 women in the study group. The risk of recurrent torsion after oophoropexy was 30%. A long duration of pain before admission was associated with oophoropexy failure (37.5 ± 6.3 hours vs 11.7 ± 6.0 hours, p = .003). No single fixation procedure was superior to the others in terms of therapeutic success. CONCLUSION: Recurrent ovarian torsion is more common in young women with a normal-appearing ovary. Oophoropexy is a safe procedure with a risk of retorsion in 30% of the patients. We found no advantage for one fixation technique over the others.

BACKGROUND: Native lung torsion is rare and torsion in a lung transplant is even rarer. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a case of left upper lobe (LUL) and lingula torsion in a patient with a unilateral left lung transplantation. The transplant was complicated by a graft with a short pulmonary artery cuff, which required significant vascular reconstruction and manipulation. Additionally, the graft had complete left major and minor fissures, which are documented risk factors for torsion. After 24 h postoperatively, the patient failed to wean off ventilation. The patient was worked up with bronchoscopy, a computed tomography (CT), and a CT angiogram (CTA). A CT without intravenous (IV) contrast showed the findings suggestive of torsion of the LUL and lingula and the CTA confirmed the diagnosis. Immediate re-exploration was performed for detorsion to preserve the vitality of the allograft. Following the failed detorsion, the patient had re-transplantation of the left lung with good results. CONCLUSION: Lung torsion should be watched for in patients with major risk factors like complete fissure. CT and/or CTA are effective tools to confirm the diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: A paraovarian cyst (POC) is located between the ovary and the fallopian tube. In many cases POCs are diagnosed and managed as ovarian cysts. But since POC are a distinct entity in their clinical presentation and surgical intervention, they should be better defined. OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical perioperative and operative characteristics of patients with POCs in order to improve pre-operative diagnosis and management. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients with an operative diagnosis of POC between 2007 and 2019 in a single university-affiliated tertiary care medical center was included. Demographic characteristics as well as symptoms, sonographic appearance, surgery findings, and histology results were retrieved from electronic medical records. RESULTS: During the study period 114 patients were surgically diagnosed with POC, 57.9% were in their reproductive years and 24.6% were adolescents. Most presented with abdominal pain (77.2%). Preoperative sonographic exams accurately diagnosed POC in only 44.7% of cases, and 50.9% underwent surgery due to suspected torsion, which was surgically confirmed in 70.7% of cases. Among women with confirmed torsion, 28.9% involved the fallopian tube without involvement of the ipsilateral ovary. Histology results showed benign cysts in all cases, except two, with a pathological diagnosis of serous borderline tumor. CONCLUSIONS: POC should always be part of the differential diagnosis of women presenting with lower abdominal pain and sonographic evidence of adnexal cysts. If POC is suspected there should be a high level of suspicion for adnexal torsion and low threshold for surgical intervention, especially in adolescent, population who are prone to torsion.

This 10-year retrospective study between 2008 and 2018, aims to investigate the duration of symptoms of ovarian torsion and the subsequent rate of ovarian preservation. Eighty-six women with surgically confirmed ovarian torsion were included. The median duration from the onset of pain symptoms to presentation (26.0 vs 6.0 h, p < .001) and from presentation to surgery (11.0 vs 5.5 h, p = .010) were significantly longer in women who required an oophorectomy compared to women who had conservative surgery. There was no significant difference in symptoms, signs or investigations except ultrasound finding of an enlarged ovary (94.9% vs 76.9%, p = .026). Awareness of the condition among the community and healthcare is crucial and routine investigations should not delay management as positive Doppler flow on ultrasound does not exclude an ovarian torsion.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Ovarian torsion is a gynaecological emergency and may lead to ovarian necrosis, infection and peritonitis. Early recognition is essential in preserving the ovary, particularly in patients with future fertility aspirations. Currently there is no consensus regarding the time period of ovarian viability after the onset of symptoms.What do the results of this study add? We have demonstrated a significant difference in the duration from the onset of symptoms to surgery. Furthermore, the duration from the onset of symptoms to presentation (26.0 vs 6.0 h, p<.001) and from presentation to surgery (11.0 vs 5.5 h, p=.010) were significantly longer in women who required an oophorectomy compared to women who had conservative surgery. There was no significant difference in symptoms, signs or investigations except ultrasound finding of an enlarged ovary.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Women with known ovarian cysts in particular should be educated of the risk of ovarian torsion. Routine investigations should not delay management as it does not exclude an ovarian torsion. Although our study suggests that early presentation and management would reduce the risk of oophorectomy, prospective studies are required to confirm the findings.

CASE SERIES SUMMARY: Lung lobe torsion is rare in cats. The aim of this multi-institution retrospective study was to describe clinical and diagnostic findings, treatments and outcomes of lung lobe torsion (LLT) in 10 cats. Dyspnoea and tachypnoea were the most common clinical signs. Pleural effusion was present in nine cats at presentation. Fluid analysis confirmed chylothorax in three cats. Nine cats underwent CT and five cats had thoracic radiographs taken. A diagnosis was made preoperatively in six cats, while in the other four cats it was made at exploratory thoracotomy. Affected lung lobes were the right cranial (n = 4/11), left cranial (n = 4/11) and right middle (n = 3/11). One cat had a concurrent torsion of two lung lobes. Lung lobectomy was successfully performed in all cases. Based on clinical, diagnostic and lung histopathology findings, three cats had idiopathic and seven cats secondary LLT. Intraoperative complications included hypotension and hypothermia in four and five cats, respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in six cats and lead to euthanasia or death in four cats, whereas complications resolved in the other two cats. Three cats were euthanased within 5 weeks of discharge. For the three cats surviving long term, including one euthanased at 252 days postoperatively, owner-described outcomes and quality of life were considered good to excellent. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: Secondary LLT associated with underlying thoracic pathology was associated with high complication rates and poor outcomes. Long-term outcomes of cats undergoing surgery for LLT and surviving the perioperative period were deemed good to excellent.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary torsion is a rare complication following thoracic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A man in his seventies was diagnosed with stage IIIA lung cancer occupying the right upper lobe, and lobectomy was performed through posterolateral thoracotomy. Postoperative chest X-rays revealed extensive, progressive middle lobe opacities on postoperative day 0 and 1, with no corresponding clinical or bronchoscopic findings. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography raised suspicion of middle lobe torsion, and exploratory surgery confirmed the finding of a necrotic middle lobe with 180 degrees of torsion. The middle lobe was resected and the patient recovered well. INTERPRETATION: Pulmonary lobar torsion is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication following thoracic surgery that should not be overlooked even in the absence of symptoms that raise concern. Bronchoscopy and radiological imaging may suggest the condition, but the final diagnosis is made surgically.

BACKGROUND: Kidney allograft torsion (KAT) is defined as a rotation of the renal allograft around its vascular pedicle. It is a rare complication with high rate of graft loss. The nonspecific presentation and inability to provide a definitive diagnosis by imaging, mainly in cases of partial torsion, often delay the diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of recurrent complete torsion of the renal allograft after simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation, requiring 2 emergency exploratory laparotomies. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old woman with a history of intraperitoneal simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation underwent 2 separate emergency exploratory laparotomies secondary to complete renal allograft torsion, respectively, 7 and 11 months after the transplant. In both episodes, no adhesions were encountered. During the first operation, nephropexy was performed. During the second operation, an abdominal wall mesh was placed and fixed to the abdominal wall. Acute kidney injury related to KAT recovered in both occasions with a creatinine of 1.3 mg/dL at 4 months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Renal torsion always should be suspected in intraperitoneally placed kidneys presenting with nonspecific symptoms, abdominal pain, oliguria, and worsening kidney function. Surgical exploration should be considered to salvage the renal graft. This case illustrates the reversibility of a severe injury related to this vascular complication with an adequate return to baseline kidney function even when diagnosis and surgical treatment of KAT might be delayed secondary to its misleading clinical presentation.

BACKGROUND: Gait deviation and associated torsional problems are common in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Although femoral anteversion in CP has been extensively reviewed in previous studies, only a few studies have focused on tibial torsion. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate tibial torsion in patients with CP and investigate the affecting factors. METHODS: Consecutive patients with cerebral palsy who underwent 3-dimensional computed tomography for the assessment of rotational profiles were reviewed. Femoral anteversion and tibial torsion were measured, and the demographic characteristics of the patients were recorded. A linear mixed model was implemented to overcome the retrospective nature of the study. RESULTS: After the implementation of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 472 patients were enrolled for this study. With age, external tibial torsion increased, while femoral anteversion decreased. The factors affecting external tibial torsion were increased femoral anteversion (p = 0.0057), increased age (p < 0.0001), higher Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level (p < 0.0001), and involved/uninvolved limbs of hemiplegia (p = 0.0471/p = 0.0047). CONCLUSIONS: Older age, GMFCS level IV/V, hemiplegia, and increased femoral anteversion were the independent risk factors of increased external tibial torsion; therefore, performing an imaging study is recommended for assessing the extent of tibial torsion in patients with such characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Adnexal torsion in pregnancy is often associated with functional adnexal cysts, especially in pregnancies conceived by ovulation induction (OI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF). During laparoscopy for adnexal de-torsion, drainage of the functional cysts can be attempted, although this procedure may cause bleeding. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the characteristics of ovarian torsion in pregnancy associated with functional cysts and to compare the rate of torsion recurrence following de-torsion alone versus cyst drainage. METHODS: All cases of surgically diagnosed adnexal torsion occurring during pregnancy between January 2007 and April 2019 in our department were retrospectively analyzed. The cases of torsion associated with presumed functional ovarian cysts were selected. The rate of recurrent torsion during the same pregnancy was compared for de-torsion alone versus de-torsion and cyst aspiration. RESULTS: Of the 113 women who experienced adnexal torsion during pregnancy, 71 (67.0%) of torsion cases were caused by presumed functional ovarian cysts. Among women with torsion of functional ovarian cysts, the rate of torsion recurrence was significantly higher in patients who underwent de-torsion alone (n=28) compared to women who underwent aspiration and drainage of the ovarian cysts (n=43) (14.3% vs. 0, P = 0.021). There were no cases of intra- or post-operative bleeding in the study cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Functional ovarian cysts are the most common adnexal pathology encountered in pregnant women with torsion. Intra-operative cyst aspiration and drainage may reduce the risk of recurrent torsion. Further multi-center studies are required to validate our data prospectively.

Herein, we report a new technique of middle lobe fixation using Hemopatch after thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy. A 3-0 atraumatic polypropylene suture is passed first through the Hemopatch, then two not-inflated lobes, and then again patch. The lung is half-inflated, and the Hemopatch is placed onto the surface of the two half-inflated lobes in a bridging manner over the fissure. The suture is then tied by a clip. This procedure was successfully applied in five consecutive patients after thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy for cancer. No complications occurred during and after operation.
