Definition and epidemiology Testicular torsion is ischaemia of the testicle due to rotation along the longitudinal axis of the spermatic cord. [racgp.org.au]

Testicular torsion must be diagnosed quickly and accurately, because delay of the diagnosis and subsequent delay of surgery, if needed, can lead to loss of testicular viability and orchidectomy. [1] Pathophysiology The vestigial tissues forming the appendices [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology During development, the testicle becomes invested by the tunica vaginalis, to which it is fixed inferiorly by the gubernaculum testis. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

Pathophysiology The vestigial tissues forming the appendices are commonly pedunculated and are structurally predisposed to torsion. Torsion of an appendage leads to ischemia and infarction. [elearning.sumdu.edu.ua]

This is to help prevent severe problems. During surgery, the health care provider will be able to see if the condition is testicular appendage torsion. [saintlukeshealthsystem.org]

Torsion of the other testicle can't be prevented by changes in activity or by taking medicine. Only sewing stitches around the testicle will prevent future torsion. [practo.com]

Later, gross swelling prevents this finding. The testes on both sides are characteristically in the 'bell-clapper position' with a horizontal long axis. [patient.info]
