OBJECTIVE
To analyze the morphology of epididymis and tunica vaginalis as well as their anatomical anomalies in patients with testicular torsion.
METHODS
We studied 25 patients (50 testes) aged between 12 and 23 years (mean 15.6). Torsion length ranged from 2 hours to 2 days (mean 8 hours).
Testis torsion is a surgical emergency, and sometimes we cannot sufficiently prevent injury even surgical detorsion of the testis is performed in the appropriate time period due to some reasons such as tissue edema. In this experimental study, we investigated the effect of tunica albuginea incision
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate the protective effect of vitamin C on tissue damage and oxidative stress following tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage for testicular torsion.
METHODS
Adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two experimental groups. The first
OBJECTIVE
This experimental study used a rat model to investigate the effect of a tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage on tissue damage and oxidative stress caused by testicular torsion and its relationship with the duration of ischemia.
METHODS
The test animals were divided
BACKGROUND
In testicular torsion, ischemia time from pain onset impacts testicular salvage. A tunica albuginea fasciotomy to relieve compartment pressure followed by a tunica vaginalis flap (TVF) may enhance salvage.
OBJECTIVE
To define the optimal window of ischemia time during which TVF may be
After direct orchiopexy with punctiform suture fixation for prophylaxis of testicular torsion recurrence, at worst recurrent torsion may result in complete loss of the testis. Clinical and animal experience makes it appear more effective and reliable to prevent recurrent testicular torsion by
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous endoscopy of the tunica vaginalis for identifying testicular torsion in a rodent model.
METHODS
One testis was randomly selected in 10 Wistar rats weighing 500 to 600 g. Following 2 hours of 720 degree torsion, bilateral percutaneous endoscopy
OBJECTIVE
The correlation between intratesticular pressure during torsion/detorsion and subsequent testicular function and viability has been reported in several recent studies. We assessed the impact of tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage on intratesticular pressure and
OBJECTIVE
Recent data suggest that testicular torsion may include an element of the compartment syndrome that improves with decompression. In 2009 we instituted tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage as an alternative in cases in which the torsed testis continued to appear
Management of testicular rupture with a large tunical defect may not be feasible without excision of viable tissue. This study describes the use of a vascularized tunica vaginalis flap, without debridement of viable tissue, in four adolescents. Postoperative ultrasound showed good blood flow and 80%
Testicular torsion may lead to serious ischemia, and the viability depends on the duration of torsion and the effect of ischemia-reperfusion. Testicular decompression and tunica vaginalis flap application technique were introduced in 2008 by Kutikov et al. We aimed to examine the impact of this
