Abstract |
In the past, the established methods of surgical treatment for salpingo- oophoritis were extraperitoneal drainage of a pelvic abscess or total abdominal and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Increasing awareness of the role of anaerobic bacteria and changes in antibiotic-prescription patterns have modified the clinical response of some patients. In patients with a unilateral tuboovarian abscess, unilateral removal of the adnexa suffices.
