Different Management Options for Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A Tertiary Referral Center Experience
This study compared 92 patients with tubo-ovarian abscess, finding differences in parity, antibiotic duration, and hospitalization period between those treated surgically and those treated medically.

This tertiary referral center study evaluated 92 hospitalized patients with tubo-ovarian abscess, comparing those managed surgically (n=53) versus with antibiotics alone (n=39), using group comparisons of baseline and treatment characteristics. Key findings were that, among surgical subgroups (salpingectomy/salpingooophorectomy versus drainage), differences were generally not observed except for WBC count, and that when comparing all surgical versus medical groups, parity, antibiotic duration, and hospitalization period differed. The paper emphasizes the importance of selecting patients for combined surgical and antibiotic management versus antibiotics alone to reduce morbidity, adhesions, need for radical surgery, and ovarian damage, but it does not describe randomization or provide effect estimates beyond between-group comparisons. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
