ATROPHY, TESTICULAR TORSION
Testicular torsion causes orchiectomy in more than 80% of the cases after 24 hours of pain onset.Testicular detorsion only (P1-P2) showed a small difference in intratesticular pressure (median 4mmHg).Testicular incision (P2-P3) only demonstrated a major pressure decrease (median, 45mmHg).The final pressure after TVR was similar to the non-twisted testicle pressure (median, 1mmHg).Testicular salvage (88.9%) and atrophy (66.3%) rates were slightly higher than the previous literature reports, perhaps the initial learning curve of this novel technique.
