The therapeutic approach in these specific populations is debated and it must consider its etiology and adult guidelines focused on fertility issues, which suggest laparoscopic salpingectomy. We described two adolescent cases (15 years asymptomatic and 13 years with abdominal pain) presenting a monolateral hydrosalpinx secondary to surgery for Hirschsprung\u2019s disease and complicated appendicitis, respectively. Both patients underwent to uncomplicated robotic-assisted salpingectomy, with uneventful follow-up and preserved ovarian function. Robotic-assisted salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx secondary to previous surgical conditions is a safe and careful approach for adolescents in order to preserve ovarian vascularization, function and future fertility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/pmc.2020.233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]],"date-time":"2021-02-15T11:09:07Z","timestamp":1613387347000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Secondary hydrosalpinx in adolescents: a challenging decision-making process for surgical choice and future fertility preservation"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8414-1932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela","family":"Riccio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7590-9505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Lisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Enrica","family":"Miscia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gilda","family":"Di Paolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0619-8957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Lauriti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3736-2200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierluigi","family":"Lelli Chiesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"137","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bertozzi M, Noviello C, Molinaro F, et al.
