  • Title: [Torsion of the testis and spermatic cord in children].
    Author: Apel' VL, Aleksandrov AV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1975 Jul; 115(7):116-8. PubMed ID: 1231158.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 16 cases of torsion of the testis and 3 cases with twisting of the testicular appendix. Fifteen children with torsion of the testis and one child with twisting of the testicular appendix were operated upon. Late results were followed up in 14 cases within the terms from 6 months to 7 years. Atrophy of the testis was not observed in children, operated upon in earlier terms of the affection, irrespective of the degree of the torsion. In late patients' admission to the hospital even small size torsions resulted in testicular atrophy in 4 cases. To improve the results of treatment in children with torsion of the testis early operative interventions are greatly advocated.
