title: Impact of laparoscopic ovarian detorsion on ovarian reserve.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian detorsion in patients with ovarian torsion.
  
  
  METHODS
  From February 2014 to September 2015, a total of 11 patients with ovarian torsion underwent laparoscopic detorsion. These 11 patients were eligible for study, and ovarian reserve was assessed on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and by antral follicle count preoperatively, and in postoperative months 1 and 3.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Mean patient age was 25.4 ± 5.5 years. Although mean antral follicle count on the operated side was slightly lower than on the contralateral side at 1 month postoperatively (P > 0.05), at 3 months postoperatively there was no difference in mean antral follicle count between the operated and contralateral sides (P > 0.05). There was no significant change in serum AMH level at 1 and 3 months postoperatively compared with the preoperative level (P > 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic detorsion of twisted ovary is a safe procedure to preserve ovarian function, and does not impair ovarian reserve according to antral follicle count and AMH during the course of follow-up.
