Characteristic of testicular torsion and predictors of testicular salvage: A retrospective study

Background: Testicular torsion is one of the urological emergencies that require immediate scrotum exploration. Characteristics testicular patients, variated time exploration, and findings degree at exploration can affect outcome testicles. The study aimed to determine characteristics diagnosed patients identify predictors salvage.Method: method used in was cohort retrospective with inclusion exclusion criteria. Receiver operator analysis performed probability orchidectomy based on degrees twist. Multivariate logistic regression tests are factors cause testicles be retained. P<0.05 significant.Results: There 45 mostly aged between 12 16 years (64.40%). Left more frequent than right (82.20%). etiology idiopathic (77.80%). Orchidopexy procedure (26.70%); follow-up, patient found have atrophy. explore cut-off value 8.5 hours 450 twisting will testis not survive specificity 83% 92% sensitivity 81% 82%, respectively. shows associated affected (p<0.05).Conclusion: Patients relatively young. Not all manifest typical symptoms acute, atypical such as lower abdominal pain, which identified torsion. Mostly left testicle. Orchidectomy most commonly operation patients. predicted by observing factor patient.
