SPERMATIC CORD HEMATOMA MIMICKING SPERMATIC CORD TORSION IN A NEONATE

Acute scrotal swelling is an urgent urologic condition, and its failure in diagnosis is "one of the litigious issues in urologic practice. "1-2 Although acute scrotal pain is due to spermatic cord torsion in 25-35% of cases, the urologist should either rule it out or treat it immediately. 2 We operated a case of acute scrotal edema in a two-day-old boy who had, according to clinical results...

Spermatic cord torsion happens rather frequently in young men. It must be discovered early on, to allow for the possibility of removal by surgery. It appears from recently written medical articles that the endocrine function of the testis is protected following several hours of torsion and the risk of immunological damage to the contralateral testis is subsequently reduced.

Torsion of the spermatic cord constitutes a surgical emergency. Morphologically and functionally, the fate of the compromised testis largely depends on the time elapsed between the acute episode and surgical intervention. Patients who had been treated for testicular torsion by our group from 1976 to 1989 were requested to return for outpatient evaluation. These patient were divided into two gro...

The amount of spermatic cord rotation magnifies the time-related orchidectomy risk in Intravaginal testicular torsion

PURPOSE To investigate the roles of age, testicular rotation and time in the surgical outcome of intravaginal testicular torsion (iTT). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrieved the records of all iTT patients treated in our unit from January 2012 to January 2014. Explanatory variables were: age (years); presentation delay (PrD, time between symptoms and hospitalization); surgical delay (SurgD, time ...
