Rates and Technique for Oophoropexy in Pediatric Ovarian Torsion: A Single-Institution Case Series.

Study Objective: Ovarian torsion (OT) is uncommon, but can result in loss of reproductive function. Traditionally managed using adnexectomy, torsed adnexae are now being conserved, increasing the potential for recurrent OT. As a result, some experts suggest oophoropexy (OP) to prevent recurrence.
