Penile Torsion

Presentation

Sixteen patients presented a moderate rotation of 45°-90° and 14 had a severe rotation with an angle greater than 90°. Chordee was present in 17 cases and distal glanular hypospadias in 15 cases. Median age at surgery was 10 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ABSTRACT In the present case report, we describe a new technique for penile torsion correction that may be used in select patients. A 55-year-old male presented to our facility with a long history of erectile dysfunction. [urotoday.com]

  • Surgical Procedure

    OBJECTIVES: To present the results of repairing congenital or acquired penile torsion by means of a simple surgical procedure that does not involve resection of corporeal tissue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The surgical procedure includes degloving the penis, Bucks fascia resection, some incision in the base of the penis, plication of tunica, and dorsal dartos flap. [dovepress.com]

    Keep the dressing clean and replace it right away if it falls off for the first week or so. Use prescription ointments to prevent irritation or rashes. Some swelling is normal. [healthline.com]

    The suture line may be visible for quite some time after the sutures dissolve and fall out. These markings usually fade with time as the child grows. [deltamedix.com]

  • Weakness

    MayoClinic.com describes an inguinal hernia as the protrusion of the intestine through a weak area of the lower abdomen. The condition is not necessarily serious, but the complications can be life threatening. [livestrong.com]

    A higher incidence of hypospadias has been noted in winter conceptions. 32 A weak association between hypospadias and the maternal ingestion of progestin-like agents has also been noted. 33, 34 No association has been found between hypospadias and oral [clinicalgate.com]

    As patients are usually asymptomatic and have few complaints, the incidence of penile torsion might be underestimated [ 11 ]. Varying studies report incidence ranging from 1.7 % of males, to 27 % [ 12, 13 ]. [abdominalkey.com]

Neurologic

  • Irritability

    Causes of Rashes on Penis or Scrotum Most rashes on the penis or scrotum are caused by skin irritants. Hand-to-penis contact is normal when passing urine. Therefore, the rash is most likely from an irritant that was on the hands. [seattlechildrens.org]

Urogenital

  • Chordee

    Ventral chordee ranged from 45° to 100°, with a median of 50°. A ratio of 1:9.6 was found for chordee without hypospadias compared to the total hypospadias cases, with an incidence of 9.5%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Treatment of chordee Once the decision is made to surgically correct chordee, physicians evaluate the extent of chordee via an artificial erection while the child is asleep. [denverurology.com]

    We would nowadays define it as chordee. Penile torsion was first described in 1973 by Horton and Devine [ 6 ]. They used also the word chordee. [abdominalkey.com]

    This procedure is very painful but necessary for proper treatment. Because this reduction is pretty painful, pain medications, penile blocks, and even sedation may be necessary. [verywell.com]

Treatment

Management and Treatment How is penile torsion treated? Penile torsion usually does not require treatment, especially if the rotation is less than 90 degrees. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

[…] with my treatment from New York Urology! [newyorkurologyspecialists.com]

From there, a urologist will be consulted to assist in the treatment of the torsion. Treatment Because testicular torsion involves the elimination of the only blood supply to the testicles, treatment must occur promptly. [verywellhealth.com]

Prognosis

In each case, a brief assessment of the presenting sign/symptom and differential diagnosis is followed by discussion of occurrence, clinical presentation and significance, diagnostic work-up, treatment, and prognosis. [books.google.de]

Outlook (Prognosis) The testicle may continue to function properly if the condition is found early and treated right away. The chances that the testicle will need to be removed increase if blood flow is reduced for more than 6 hours. [mountsinai.org]

Etiology

This paper will review the current theories for the etiology of penile curvature, discuss the spectrum of severity of congenital chordee and penile torsion, and present varying surgical techniques for the correction of penile curvature in the absence [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many authors have referred to the bending of the penis as curvature, while rotation has been often used when there was a torsion on the penile axis.5 Moreover, few published reports have recognized a potential hereditary trace in penile rotation etiology [dovepress.com]

In 1981, Corriere [7] described Buck's fascia involvement in the etiology of congenital penile torsion. In 2006, Zhou et al [8], denied that abnormal skin attachment was a main factor in any case. [urotoday.com]

Although the etiology of these malformations is probably multifactorial, the existence of an inbred strain of rats that are characterized by a high incidence of ectopic scrotum suggests a genetic component to this anomaly. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology

Congenital torsion was present in 11.993% of the epidemiologic study group, mild in 80%, moderate in 15%, and severe in 5%. Only 2.2% was bothered by the condition. Conclusion: Torsion of the penis is not uncommon but rarely provokes a complaint. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Congenital torsion was present in 11.993% of the epidemiologic study group. It was categorized as mild in 80%, moderate in 15%, and severe in 5% of the cases. Only 2.2% of the patients were bothered by the condition. [urotoday.com]

Prevention

During surgery, the doctor will: make a cut in the scrotum untwist the spermatic cord if necessary stitch one or both testicles to the inside of the scrotum to prevent rotation Suturing both testicles will prevent torsion from occurring on the other side [medicalnewstoday.com]

During surgery, whether done immediately or later, urologists usually secure both testes to prevent future episodes of torsion. NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. [merckmanuals.com]

If you are experiencing intermittent torsion, then a surgical procedure performed electively can prevent further episodes and associated complications. [drelist.com]

Prevention Having testicles that can rotate in the scrotum is a trait inherited by some males. If you have this trait, the only way to prevent testicular torsion is surgery to attach both testicles to the inside of the scrotum. [drugs.com]
