Ovarian and Adnexal Torsion at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

How Surgery for Ovarian Torsion is Performed:

1.Medical Consultation:

• The patient first undergoes an evaluation by a gynecologic surgeon, who assesses the condition and determines the need for urgent hospitalization and surgery.

2.Diagnosis:

• The primary diagnostic method is ultrasound, which helps assess ovarian blood flow and confirm or rule out torsion.

3.Surgical Treatment:

• Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method, as it minimizes tissue damage and shortens recovery time.
• During surgery, the doctor untwists the ovary and restores normal blood flow.
• If torsion has caused tissue necrosis, partial or complete ovary removal may be necessary.

4.Postoperative Recovery:

• After surgery, the patient remains under medical supervision to ensure proper healing and functional recovery.
• In most cases, the patient can return home just a few hours after the procedure.
