Laparoscopic unwinding of adnexal torsion caused by ovarian hyperstimulation

A case of laparoscopic unwinding of a twisted enlarged ovary and Fallopian tube caused by ovarian hyperstimulation is presented. The laparoscopic unwinding was simple and was carried out in a short time. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful. Complications such as thromboembolism were not observed and the post-operative ovarian function was well preserved after such procedures. Preservation of the ovary is highly important in young infertile women. Prompt diagnosis with an immediate unwinding of the twisted adnexa by a laparoscopic technique can produce a valuable outcome.
