Abstract
Manual detorsion is infrequently performed in pediatric emergency medicine, particularly in centers with urology coverage. In no other emergency condition does an emergency physician not take immediate action to alleviate pain and damage, even if definitive care is close by. A small number of case reports exist in which pediatric emergency physicians have performed manual detorsion. This review the literature presents the case for routine manual detorsion prior to definitive orchiopexy.
