Previous studies indicated the occurrence of compartment syndrome after testicular detorsion. In such cases, testicular blood flow may improve with tunica albuginea incision. A 14-year-old man presented with right-sided testicular torsion. No improvement in testicular appearance after detorsion led to a tunica albuginea incision for immediate recovery of testicular blood flow. The affected testis, covered with a tunica vaginalis patch, exhibited no atrophy at the 6-month follow-up. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the affected testis had blood flow comparable to that on the unaffected side. This technique is useful for avoiding orchiectomy in testes with poor blood flow after detorsion. |
