“…To date, there are no data on how different hysterectomy techniques may affect the risk of future ovarian torsion. However, several cases of ovarian torsion have been reported after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) (Table 1), while to our knowledge, only one case has been published after abdominal approach [6]. This could be explained by the fact that laparoscopic approach has been associated with both fewer postoperative adhesions [7] and less adhesion-related complications [8] when compared to laparotomy, in both gynecologic and pelvic surgery.…”

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Ovarian torsion (OT) is a medical emergency which can have significant clinical consequences. It is surgically treated by either detorsion with or without oophoropexy, or oophorectomy. In this report, a case of left OT is described after prior hysterectomy and bilateral prophylactic oophoropexy three years prior. The patient presented with progressive left flank and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of torsion was made using a combination of CT and MR imaging with confirmation at surgery and pathology. At laparoscopic surgery, the left ovary was found at the level of iliac crest posterior to the descending colon. The ovary was torsed with hemorrhagic infarction. It was successfully removed. The patient was discharged postoperative day one and is now free of symptoms and complaints. OT is rarely reported after hysterectomy and oophoropexy. This case demonstrates that OT should be kept in the differential even in patients post hysterectomy and/or oophoropexy.
