title: Maximizing ovarian salvage when treating idiopathic adnexal torsion.
abstract: Idiopathic adnexal torsion threatens ovarian function. The best ways to maximize ovarian salvage have not been stressed widely. The authors describe 2 girls who illustrate the benefit of untwisting the torsion, limiting resection and performing bilateral gonadopexy to prevent both ipsilateral recurrence and contralateral occurrence.
