Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of acute testicular torsion. Methods 17 cases of testicular torsion treated from January 1995 to December 2000 were reviewed.The diagnosis and treatment were analysed. Results The diagnosis of testicular torsion in all the 17 cases was assessed on color Doppler ultrasonics.1 case was cured by manual detorsion,2 by surgical detorsion and orchidopexy,14 by orchiectomy and contralateral orchidopexy.The fertile ability of 4 cases over 18 years old was observed,3 being normal and 1 slightly below normal. Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasonics examination can serve as a chief adjuvant diagnostic method.All cases with a torsion more than 360? and longer than 24 h will have the ipsilateral testicular loss,whereas in case the torsion is less than 360? and less than 24 h have a chance to preserve the testis by surgical detorsion and orchidopexy.
