SUSTAINED POSITIVE PRACTICE CHANGE AFTER TARGETED EDUCATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OVARIAN TORSION
Topic overview
This study evaluates the impact of a targeted educational campaign by APSA to promote ovarian conservation surgery and detorsion as standard care for pediatric and adolescent ovarian torsion. The analysis spans a decade (2012-2022) and assesses sustained practice changes following the 2017 educational intervention addressing the practice gap of unnecessary oophorectomy.
Key takeaways
- Ovarian conservation surgery (detorsion) is now the standard of care for adnexal torsion in pediatric and adolescent patients.
- APSA identified failure to perform ovarian conservation as a practice gap in 2017, prompting targeted educational intervention.
- Targeted education campaigns can drive sustained practice change in pediatric surgical management over a 10-year period.
- Historical practice often involved oophorectomy; current evidence supports detorsion to preserve ovarian function and fertility.
- Practice patterns for ovarian torsion management shifted significantly between 2012-2022 following educational efforts.
