OBJECTIVE: To introduce a new surgical approach, oophoropexy to prevent recurrent adnexal torsion. DESIGN: Case report and review of the literature. SETTING: The obstetrics and gynecology department of a university hospital. PATIENT(S): A 29-year-old pregnant patient who had three events of torsion of the adnexa after stimulation. INTERVENTION(S): Laparoscopic oophoropexy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Incidence of torsion. RESULT(S): No more torsion events were registered during the ongoing pregnancy. CONCLUSION(S): Laparoscopic oophoropexy is recommended in emergency situations to increase adnexal salvage and to prevent a recurrence.
