| ===Early Conservative Management===
| |
| If there is no evidence of vascular compromise, or [[peritonitis]] then laparoscopy can be used to uncoil the torsed ovary.

| |
| ===Salpingo-oophorectomy===
| |
| If there is evidence of vascular compromise, or peritonitis, the salpingo-oophorectomy may be required. Unfortunately, the visual characteristics of the ovaries such as size, color, and edema may not accurately reflect the extent of injury. Therefore, most studies support a strategy of early conservative management, which is successful in 88% of cases.

| ===Treatment to Reduce the Risk of Recurrent Torsion===
| |
| Among young women in whom there is a long ligament, laparoscopic triplication of the utero-ovarian ligament has been utilized to reduce the risk of recurrent torsion. Patients with [[polycystic ovarian disease]] are also at risk of recurrence.
