N2 - Ovarian transposition has proven to be a safe method for preserving ovarian function in young premenopausal women who require pelvic irradiation for treatment of early stage malignancies. We report 2 cases of ovarian torsion after laparoscopic ovarian transposition in 2 young women scheduled for chemotherapy and radiation therapy for treatment of cervical or vaginal cancer. We believe these are the first such cases reported in the literature. In discussions with patients regarding the risks and potential benefits of ovarian transposition, ovarian torsion should be included as a possible, although rare, complication.
