Does laparoscopic detorsion preserve ovarian function in women with adnexal torsion?
Laparoscopic detorsion allows for the return of ovarian function in the majority of women with adnexal torsion.
Shalev et al. (1995) studied this question. Laparoscopic detorsion for adnexal torsion successfully preserved ovarian function, demonstrating follicular development in 94.2% (49 of 52) of followed-up women with normal-sized ovaries.
