She presented with persistent right lower abdominal pain lasting 40 h. Ultrasound revealed a large right-sided cystic mass with a \u201cwhirlpool sign\u201d and an O-RADS 2 classification. CT imaging demonstrated a sizable pelvic cystic lesion with minimal fluid accumulation. Upon admission, ALT and AST levels were 278 and 122 U\/L, respectively. Following a multidisciplinary evaluation, a perioperative management plan was devised, focusing on minimizing hepatic metabolic burden. Single-port laparoscopic surgery via the umbilicus confirmed 540\u00b0 torsion of the right adnexal pedicle. After detorsion, an external ovarian cystectomy and ovarian reconstruction were performed outside the protective sleeve, involving controlled decompression, complete cyst wall excision, meticulous hemostasis, and tissue reconstruction. Intraoperative blood loss was approximately 20 ml. Postoperatively, transaminase levels gradually normalized, and the patient was discharged on postoperative Day 4. Histopathology revealed an ovarian follicular cyst with mild granulosa cell hyperplasia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Combining single-port laparoscopy with extracorporeal cystectomy provides a safe, minimally invasive solution for pediatric ovarian torsion.
