The mass effect of ovarian tumors is also a common cause of torsion. Torsion of the ovary usually occurs with torsion of the fallopian tube as well on their shared vascular pedicle around the broad ligament, although in rare cases the ovary rotates around the mesovarium or the fallopian tube rotates around the mesosalpinx. In 80%, torsion ...
Most bilateral oophorectomies (63%) are performed without any medical indication, and most (87%) are performed together with a hysterectomy. [10] Conversely, unilateral oophorectomy is commonly performed for a medical indication (73%; cyst, endometriosis, benign tumor, inflammation, etc.) and less commonly in conjunction with hysterectomy (61%).
The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum [1] that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus [2] while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. [3]
Unilateral ovarian agenesis, also known as unilateral ovarian absence (UOA), is a rare condition in an individual has one ovary instead of two not explained by previous ovariectomy. Possible causes include torsion or vascular obstruction leading to loss of one ovary, and true agenesis where the ovary never formed during development.
Ovarian remnant (ORS) may first be considered in women who have undergone oophorectomy and have suggestive symptoms, the presence of a mass, or evidence of persistent ovarian function (by symptoms or laboratory testing). A history of oophorectomy is required, by definition, to make the diagnosis.
XX gonadal dysgenesis is a type of female hypogonadism in which the ovaries do not function to induce puberty in a person assigned female at birth, whose karyotype is 46,XX. [1] Individuals with XX gonadal dysgenesis have normal-appearing external genitalia as well as Müllerian structures (e.g., cervix, vagina, uterus).
Each ovary is whitish in color and located alongside the lateral wall of the uterus in a region called the ovarian fossa. The ovarian fossa is the region that is bounded by the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. This area is about 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in size. [3] [4]
Fixation in orthopedics is the process by which an injury is rendered immobile. [1] This may be accomplished by internal fixation , using intramedullary rod , Kirschner wire or dynamic compression plate ; or by external fixation , using a spanning external fixator , Taylor Spatial Frame or Ilizarov apparatus .
