For patients with benign pathology, laparoscopic repair often is used. Salpingo-oophorectomy may be necessary if there is evidence of necrotic tissue. Recently, laparoscopic triplication of the utero-ovarian ligament has been done to prevent recurrent torsion. They ensure patient comfort, promote pulmonary toilet, and have sedating properties, which are beneficial for patients who have sustained trauma or have painful lesions. May produce less constipation, smooth muscle spasm, and depression of cough reflex than similar analgesic doses of morphine.
Some antiemetics also have sedative effects.
In addition to antiemetic effects, has the advantage of augmenting hypoxic ventilatory response, acting as a respiratory stimulant at high altitude. Antidopaminergic agent effective in treating emesis. Blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic receptors in brain and reduces stimuli to brainstem reticular system. The prognosis is excellent with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The ability to diagnose adnexal torsion depends on the physician's ability to consider it in the differential diagnosis.
