A case of long-term follow-up of follicular development after laparoscopic retorsion for normal ovarian torsion
Intraoperative appearance alone is not a reliable predictor of ovarian viability, and complete necrosis is uncommon. This case demonstrates that even severely ischemic ovaries may regain function after prolonged intervals, emphasizing the importance of ovarian preservation and extended follow-up in pediatric torsion cases. The long-term implications for fertility, however, require further study.
