| Slight ischaemia: the adnexa is a normal colour from the start or within the first few minutes after detorsion. |
| A review of the literature shows that this complication, described at the beginning of the 20th century after a very late diagnosis is no more frequent after detorsion than after adnexectomy. |
| After completion of the 4-hour detorsion period, bilateral orchiectomies were performed. |
| In more-advanced gastropods there are secondary modifications to a more nearly bilateral state, and in many groups there has been detorsion. |
| There are two steps in the operation, detorsion and treatment of the aetiology. |
| Other surgical procedures which may be considered include salpingostomy, salpingopexy and detorsion. |
