Treatment of acute scrotum is becoming increasingly more common in urological surgery. The aim of this work was to analyse all the cases of acute scrotum subjected to surgical exploration in the last 20 years. Funicular torsion was found in 51% of patients, appendicular testis torsion in 26%, alterations compatible with previous funicular torsion in 15%, while findings were negative in 7%. Surgery to relieve funicular torsion and eversion of the vaginal was performed in 82% of cases, while the testis was fixed in 12% and in 11 cases orchiectomy was necessary. The contralateral testis was never fixed. No recurrence of funicular torsion has been found during follow-up, but in 9% of patients contralateral funicular torsion occurred at a later date. |
