Purpose: Many studies have focused on factors predicting testicular viability during scrotal exploration in testicular torsion (TT). We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of testicular atrophy (TA) after testicular salvage in TT and identified associated factors.
Methods: We reviewed patients who underwent emergency operation suspicious for testicular torsion in our institution from January 2013 to March 2017. Sixty five boys with a median age at presentation of 7.8 (range 4-16) years underwent surgical treatment for TT. Data was collected on patient demographics, duration of pain, sonographic findings, torsion rotation, postoperative complications, and follow-up assessment of TA at 12 month postoperatively (defined as difference in testicular volume > 30% compared with the contralateral testis, based on measurement by ultrasound. The testis volume was calculated with the formula for an ellipsoid = /6 X length X width X height).
Results: Of 65 patients who had scrotal exploration for testicular torsion, 31 had testicular salvage (orchiopexy, rate 47.69%) and 34 orchiectomy (orchiectomy rate 52.31%). Median follow-up was 12 months. All patients with preoperative no viability of testis underwent orchiectomy (n=28). Factors associated with TA were duration of pain ≥ 12hr (p<0.001) and degree of testis rotation (p=0.041). There was no significant difference in testicular volumes before (2.731 ± 1.241) and after surgery (2.143 ± 1.673) based on sonographic evidence of reduced vascularity of testis (p=0.783).
Conclusions: We were able to derive factors associated with postoperative TA after TT surgery. Pain duration ≥12 hours and degree of rotation (≥360°) was associated with postoperative TA (p<0.001, p=0.041). Preoperative decreased testis vascularity on ultrasound was not a predictor of TA after salvage.
