Ovarian Torsion: Diagnosis and Management at Meerut Gynaecologist
What Is Ovarian Torsion?
Ovarian torsion, also known as adnexal torsion, is a medical emergency where an ovary twists around the ligaments that hold it in place. This twisting disrupts blood flow to the ovary, causing severe pain and potential damage to the ovarian tissue if left untreated. Ovarian torsion often occurs due to an enlarged ovary, ovarian cysts, or hormonal stimulation, and it requires immediate surgical intervention to preserve the ovary and prevent complications.
How Is Ovarian Torsion Treated?
The gold standard for managing ovarian torsion is laparoscopic surgery. Under general anesthesia, small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments. The surgeon untwists the ovary, restores blood flow, and removes any underlying cause, such as a cyst. In severe cases where the ovary is non-viable, it may need to be removed. Laparoscopy ensures minimal recovery time and reduced surgical trauma.
Who Needs Surgery for Ovarian Torsion?
Ovarian torsion surgery is essential for:
- Women experiencing sudden, severe pelvic or abdominal pain, often accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
- Diagnosed cases of ovarian torsion through imaging studies.
- Enlarged ovaries or cysts increasing the risk of torsion.
Pre-Op and Post-Op Requirements
Pre-Op Preparation:
- Immediate diagnostic evaluation, including pelvic ultrasound or Doppler studies, to confirm torsion.
- Fasting for a few hours if surgery is urgent.
- Initial stabilization with pain relief and supportive care.
Post-Op Care:
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Avoiding heavy activities for 2–4 weeks to allow healing.
- Follow-up visits to monitor ovarian function and ensure no recurrence of torsion.

Lap Ovarian Cystectomy: Advanced Care at Meerut Gynaecologist
What Is Lap Ovarian Cystectomy?
Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the ovary. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on or inside the ovaries. While many cysts are harmless, larger or symptomatic cysts may require surgical removal to alleviate pain, prevent complications, or preserve fertility. This advanced laparoscopic technique ensures precise removal with minimal disruption to ovarian function.
How Is Lap Ovarian Cystectomy Performed?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera—is inserted for visualization. Specialized surgical instruments are used to remove the cyst carefully while preserving healthy ovarian tissue. The minimally invasive approach reduces post-operative pain, scarring, and recovery time. The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the size and number of cysts.
Who Needs Lap Ovarian Cystectomy?
This surgery is recommended for:
- Large cysts (greater than 5 cm) that do not resolve on their own.
- Cysts causing pelvic pain, bloating, or menstrual irregularities.
- Complex or suspicious cysts detected on imaging.
- Fertility-compromising cysts like endometriomas (chocolate cysts).
- Ovarian torsion resulting from a cyst.
Pre-Op and Post-Op Requirements
Pre-Op Preparation:
- Detailed evaluation using ultrasound or MRI to assess cyst size and type.
- Blood tests to rule out malignancy (e.g., CA-125 levels for ovarian cancer markers).
- Fasting for 6–8 hours before surgery and stopping certain medications as advised.
Post-Op Care:
- Mild pain or bloating is common and managed with medications.
- Avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activities for 2–4 weeks.
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor healing and ovarian function.
- Gradual return to normal activities as guided by the doctor.
