N2 - We present a case where, for the first time, unwinding of ischemic hemorrhagic adnexum was performed successfully through the laparoscope without the need to operate. Aspiration of ovarian fluid before detorsion facilitates the procedure; follow-up showed spontaneous follicular growth. We conclude that laparoscopic detorsion of ischemic adnexum is feasible. Apparently, oocytes are not damaged by the torsion and the ovary resumes normal function. This procedure should be considered in women during the reproductive age and in every case where malignancy can be ruled out.
