Objective:
To improve the diagnosis and treatment of testicular torsion.
Methods:
The clinical data of 9 cases of suspected testicular torsion were restrospectively analyzed to summarize the diagnostic experiences.
Results:
The 9 patients were 12-27 (mean 15) years old, 8 treated by surgery and 1 by spontaneous detorsion under anesthesia. Among them, 7 cases were proved to be testicular torsion and 1 case was acute epididymitis. Of the 7 cases of testicular torsion, 6 were found to have 180-720-degree torsion around the spermatic cord and 1 case 180-degree around the verticality of the spermatic cord. The accuracy rate of color ultrasonic examination was 87.5%.
Conclusion:
Patients with acute scrotum pain should have color ultrasonic examination. Not all cases of the disease had testicular torsion around the spermatic cord. Emergency operation should be performed on any suspected case of testicular torsion.

Testes: Gross Anatomy
Each testis is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a dense connective tissue layer that provides structural support and protection. This layer is covered by an outer serous membrane called the tunica vaginalis, which helps reduce friction...

Bending and Torsional Moments
The reaction developed in a structural element when subjected to an external force causes the element to bend. When a structural element bends upwards, it creates compressive normal forces on the top and tensile normal forces on the bottom, resulting in a couple that determines the bending...
