Gangrene of the Testes after Torsion of the Spermatic Cord

چکیده
By M. N. S. CHETTI, i.u. & s., Civil Surgeon, Sagaing. A Burman male aged 47 years was brought to the hospital on 1st April, 1925, with a history of enlargement of the right testicle with swelling about 9 clays ago without any cause. On examination the tumour was found to be somewhat about the shape and size of a mediumsized mango extending above the external ring. The upper one-third was soft and fluctuating covered by healthy skin?the lower two-thirds hard with oedema of the skin over it. At first sight it looked like a strangulated hernia, but the history and signs were against it. It was diagnosed as a case of haematoma of some unknown traumatic origin. The left half of the scrotum and the left testicle were absent.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of decompression fasciotomy on testes undergoing torsion of the spermatic cord. METHODS Spermatic cord torsion was induced in 40 Wistar testes for six and 12 hours. At the time of distortion, decompression fasciotomy was performed on half of the animals. After 42 days, the testicles were examined both macroscopically and microscopically. A non-parametric Mann- W...

The association of cryptorchidism, functional Sertoli cell tumors, and spermatic cord torsion has been rarely reported in the literature. Two dogs were admitted for bilateral skin alopecia and weight loss. Both animals were cryptorchid and displayed a pendulous preputial sheath, prostate hypertrophy, and increased levels of circulating oestrogen. Transabdominal palpation and ultrasonography rev...
متن کاملTorsion of a Large Appendix Testis Misdiagnosed as Pyocele
Torsion of the appendix testis is not an uncommon cause of acute hemiscrotum. It is frequently misdiagnosed as acute epididymitis, orchitis, or torsion of testis. Though conservative management is the treatment of choice for this condition, prompt surgical intervention is warranted when testicular torsion is suspected. We report a case of torsion of a large appendix testis misdiagnosed as pyoce...
