Treatment is by surgery to either untwist and fix the ovary in place or to remove it. [2] [1] The ovary will often recover, even if the condition has been present for some time. [5] In those who have had a prior ovarian torsion, there is a 10% chance the other will also be affected. [4]
Unilateral ovarian agenesis, also known as unilateral ovarian absence (UOA), is a rare condition in an individual has one ovary instead of two not explained by previous ovariectomy. Possible causes include torsion or vascular obstruction leading to loss of one ovary, and true agenesis where the ovary never formed during development.
The suspensory ligament of the ovary, also infundibulopelvic ligament (commonly abbreviated IP ligament or simply IP), is a fold of peritoneum [1] that extends out from the ovary to the wall of the pelvis. Some sources consider it a part of the broad ligament of uterus [2] while other sources just consider it a "termination" of the ligament. [3]
Most bilateral oophorectomies (63%) are performed without any medical indication, and most (87%) are performed together with a hysterectomy. [10] Conversely, unilateral oophorectomy is commonly performed for a medical indication (73%; cyst, endometriosis, benign tumor, inflammation, etc.) and less commonly in conjunction with hysterectomy (61%).
External fixation is a surgical treatment wherein Kirschner pins and wires are inserted and affixed into bone and then exit the body to be attached to an external apparatus composed of rings and threaded rods — the Ilizarov apparatus, the Taylor Spatial Frame, and the Octopod External Fixator — which immobilises the damaged limb to facilitate healing.

Tubal ligation (commonly known as having one's "tubes tied") is a surgical procedure for female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are permanently blocked, clipped or removed.
XX gonadal dysgenesis is a type of female hypogonadism in which the ovaries do not function to induce puberty in a person assigned female at birth, whose karyotype is 46,XX. [1] Individuals with XX gonadal dysgenesis have normal-appearing external genitalia as well as Müllerian structures (e.g., cervix, vagina, uterus).
Ovarian cancer is staged using the FIGO staging system and uses information obtained after surgery, which can include a total abdominal hysterectomy via midline laparotomy, removal of (usually) both ovaries and fallopian tubes, (usually) the omentum, pelvic (peritoneal) washings, assessment of retroperitoneal lymph nodes (including the pelvic ...
