| torsion |
Twisting of an organ on its vascular pedicle, risking necrosis. Can happen to the testis in boys, especially after an injury to the scrotum, or to the ovary and fallopian tube, either spontaneously during adolescence or when enlargement from superovulation has produced u (OHSS), as described in the box, Twisted ovaries, in WebPage 12. An operation to untwist it can save the affected organ, if carried out quickly enough.
