Diagnosis and management of testicular torsion: pitfalls and perils
1Section of Emergency Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson 85724.
Abstract:
When a patient presents with acute scrotal pain and physical findings do not permit confident exclusion of testicular torsion, the initial step in management is immediate consultation with a urologist, pediatric surgeon, or general surgeon. Scrotal imaging is fallible and takes time that may be critical to salvage of the testis. Manual detorsion may be indicated when specialty support is not immediately available, but even if this technique is apparently successful, the patient should be transferred to specialty care without delay.
