Abstract

Objective: Contribute to the study of clinical characteristics and surgical treatment results of testicular torsion in children. Subjects and methods: Retrospective study, patients diagnosed and operated with testicular torsion at the National Children's Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024. Results: The average age was 9.95 ± 5.28 years. The average time from symptom onset to examination was 18,70 ± 7,70 hours. There were 43 patients (100%) with symptoms of testicular pain, 31/43 patients with left testicular torsion. All patients underwent testicular Doppler ultrasound, 22/43 (51,2%) patients had loss of pulse signal. There were 18/43 (41,9%) patients with testicular necrosis requiring orchiectomy, 25/43 (58,1%) cases of testicular detorsion and fixation. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention of testicular torsion will reduce the rate of orchiectomy.
