A member asked:

Has anyone out there done surgery for ovarian torsion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Scott Welle answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Yes: Treatment for an ovarian torsion requires untwisting the ovary restoring the blood flow to the ovary. If the blood supply has been cut off or too long the ovary may be dead. Which would require it to be removed. Can usually be done laparoscopically.
