Abstract:
Spermatic cord torsion is a surgical emergency that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment to avoid orchiectomy. Imaging should not delay surgical intervention. The degree of torsion, in addition to the exact duration, is a significant factor in determining testicular viability. However, there is limited data on the impact of the degree of torsion on testicular viability. We present a case study of a young adolescent patient who experienced early testicular necrosis resulting from torsion of the spermatic cord and underwent a right orchiectomy. Our aim is to demonstrate the impact of the degree of torsion on testicular outcomes and to review relevant literature.
