Tóm tắt

Summary— In torsion of the testis a large proportion of testes saved by surgery develop secondary atrophy.External manual reduction may be used as a first treatment, but surgical fixation is mandatory before the patient leaves the hospital.Prophylactic fixation of the contralateral testis should always be performed as 30% of the patients will otherwise develop symptoms. The preventive operation causes no discomfort to the patient and no harm to the testis.The fertility of the torsion patients is reduced. Patients treated for unilateral testicular torsion seem to have bilateral testicular abnormality resulting in decreased spermatogenesis.
