Ovarian torsion is the partial or complete rotation of the adnexa around its ovarian vascular axis. It is one of the common gynaecological emergencies. Adnexectomy was traditional surgery for management of ovarian torsion. Laparoscopy is the surgical approach of choice as it has the advantages of a shorter hospital stay and reduced postoperative pain requirements. In the present case series we present findings of ten cases on ovarian torsion between the age group of 13 to 22 years. All cases were managed laparoscopically using unique approach of “Hot Dog Bunn Stitch” which is very effective in preventing recurrence.
