Influence of unilateral ovarian torsion to the contralateral ovary.
An experimental study was planned to show the suppression of contralateral ovary in unilateral ovarian torsions. In the study, 55 New Zealand female rabbits were used. Basal and stimulation 17 beta estradiol values were measured and unilateral torsion in 20 rabbits, bilateral torsion in ten rabbits and bilateral oophorectomy in five rabbits were performed. Eight, 16, 24 hours after the procedure, 17 beta estradiol levels were measured again and the second stimulation values maintained. The control group consisted of 20 rabbits. Values were analyzed statistically and the results were significant.
