Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of testicular torsion,and to provide the strategies for its early diagnosis and timely therapy.Methods The clinical data in the patients with testicular torsion diagnosed by surgical exploration from March 2011 to December 2016 were reviewed.The clinical characteristics were compared between the testis-preserving group and testis-resection group.The latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of testicular torsion were summarized.Results A total of 64 cases of testicular torsion were included in this study.There were 27 cases in the testicle-preserving group with the age range of(8-40) years old,the average age was(19.00±5.28) years old,the onset time range was(1-24) h,the average time was (8.78 ± 6.73) h;the intraoperative sper matic cord twist range was (180-540) ° and average (290.00 ±103.92) °;6 cases were misdiagnosis with the misdiagnosis rate of 22.22 ％.There were 37cases in the testicle-resection group with the age range of(10-34),the average age was(19.00 ± 7.45) years old;the onset time range was (12-168) h,the average time was(66.92 ± 47.01) h,the intraoperative spermatic cord twist range was(180-720)° and average(457.00± 168.88)°;22 cases were misdiagnosed with the misdiagnosis rate of 59.46 ％.The onset time,spermatic cord twist degree and misdiagnosis rate had statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Testicular torsion is an important urinary emergency condition which can not be ignored.Timely and effective treatment is the key to save the testicles.
