background : as recently some reported is investigated about relation between cold weather and testicular torsion (tt), so we decided to evaluate this hypothesis risk factor for testicular torsion in our children’s hospital. objectives : the aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between cold weather and testicular torsion in children. methods: from january 2011 todecember 2015 totally h...

the testicular torsion which is typically seen in prepuberty is very rare in the early neonatal period; prenatal diagnosis is difficult. herein, we report a five day-old male neonate with swelling and erythema of the right scrotum.  following doppler ultrasound suggestive of testicular torsion, surgical exploration was undertaken. there was gangrene of the right testis with discoloration and ne...

anandamide is an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors and has endothelial protective effect against ischemic preconditioning. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on reperfusion injury due to testicular torsion-detorsion (t/d). a total of 36 adult male sprague-dawley rats were divided into 6 groups. testicular ischemia was achieved by twisting the righ...

testicular scintigraphy has been well validated in the evaluation of patients with suspected testicular torsion and provides an accurate evaluation of testicular perfusion at the lime of imaging. however, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. a case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a review of t...

PURPOSE We assessed reproductive and testicular function in adult rats after testicular torsion created before, during and after puberty, and with vs without resveratrol or arginine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age matched rats were divided into groups, including simulated surgery without testicular torsion, 720-degree testicular torsion for 4 hours, testicular torsion with resveratrol tr...

Introduction: The aim was to investigate the protective effect of the Syzygium aromaticum extract on damaged tissues and the oxidative stress after testicular torsion. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into a control group subjected to a sham procedure and three treatment groups comprising testicular torsion followed by detorsion (TD), testicular torsion detorsion followed by the tre...

ischemia-reperfusion injury is a possible cause of testicular damage and infertility after testicular torsion and detorsion. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ghrelin on testicular ischemia-reperfusion damage. a total of 30 adult male rats were selected for the study and divided randomly into 3 groups, each containing 10 rats. animals in the testicular torsion and ghrelin ...

However, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. A case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a revie...

Neonatal testicular torsion, also known as perinatal testicular torsion is a subject of debate among surgeons. Neonatal testicular torsion either intrauterine or postnatal results into extravaginal torsion which is a different entity than intravaginal type but has the same devastating consequences if not diagnosed and managed well in time. Testicular torsion results into acute ischemia with its...
