Treatment of the twisted cystic ovary with normal blood flow by simple aspiration.
Simple aspiration was performed in eight patients to correct torsion of cystic ovaries with normal blood flow, imaged by the colour Doppler technique. Abdominal pain resolved spontaneously following aspiration. Symptoms recurred in three patients, necessitating detorsion by laparoscopy. Normal follicular growth was assessed within 3 months in the non-pregnant patients.
