Abstract

Testicular torsion is a true vascular emergency-prompt diagnosis and surgical management is critical. If treatment is not instigated within 4-6 hours of the onset of pain, irreversible testicular infarction may result, necessitating orchidectomy. This review presents the key features, management principles and medicolegal considerations of this serious condition.
