Outcomes of surgical practice on tubo-ovarian abscess in an academic hospital

Objectives: We aimed to analyseour experience in the surgical management of tubo-ovarian abscess at a tertiary hospital. Methods: Data from patients who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomyfor treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical and outcomes with compared according applied approach. Results: mean largest diameter laparotomy groups similar (p = 0.520). day for total antibiotic use was significantly shorter group (10.00 ± 4.37 vs 17.91 6.59 day; p 0.002). All cases needed change regimen, but it only 28.58% group. However, preoperative fever pulse rate higher than 0.004, 0.014; respectively). There no statistical difference terms procedure betweenthetwo groups. most drainage both (71.42%, 90.90%; median operation time statistically (65.50 [58-93] minutes 84 [74-90] minutes, 0.048). In comparison postoperative complications between two groups, there significant difference. observed declination white blood cell count C-reactive protein values 7th all < 0.001 0.001, Conclusions: approach abscess, is more effective duration use, length hospital stay.
