Adnexal torsion , is a severe, though uncommon gynecological emergency, with a prevalence of 2.7-3%. The need for prompt diagnosis and treatment in order to save ovarian tissue has been realized a long time ago. A marker that will aid in the diagnosis of torsion and prevent missed diagnosis and unecessary loss of ovarian tissue, while not increasing the rate of unecessary laparoscopic interventions is much needed. To our knowledge, such marker has not been found. The purpose of this study is to find a marker using blood/serum from patients undergoing laparoscopy for suspected ovarian torsion

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Serum level of blood proteins (complete list available by direct contact)will be measured before and after ovarian detorsion, and will be compared to those taken from patients who were underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for suspected ovarian torsion.
Timeframe: Blood will be withrawed before and within 12 hourse after the surgery. The results will be analysed after recruitment and blood withrawal is finished. not later than three years after the begining of the trial
