A surgical procedure to fix or stabilize the adnexa (ovaries and fallopian tubes) in place.
From 'adnexa' combined with Greek 'pexis' meaning 'a fixing or fastening' (from 'pegnynai' meaning 'to fix'). This surgical terminology emerged as doctors developed new techniques to repair reproductive structures.
When reproductive organs are twisted or moving around causing pain, surgeons can perform adnexopexy to stitch them back into their proper position—it's like tacking down a loose curtain rod.
