Perinatal testiküler torsiyon

摘要: Early detection of perinatal testicular torsion (PTT), early use of Doppler US, and a shorter decision-making process achieved with early involvement of pediatric surgery/urology may affect prognosis, especially in the postpartum PTT setting. Considering that 3% asynchronous bilateral PTT rates have been reported in the literature, early consultation and ultrasonography are recommended for early diagnosis in suspected cases. Frequent follow-up or orchiopexy should be performed to protect the contralateral testis, if necessary, in order to avoid anorchic situation in the future.
