Three cases with testicular torsion requiring emergency scrotal exploration underwent manual detorsion after sedation while waiting to be taken to theatre.

Case 3, a 15 year old male who presented with a 6 hour history of left testicular torsion. Attempting manual detortion in patients with acute testicular torsion can salvage the testis against loss. Key Words : testicular torsion, manual detorsion, testicular survival, orchidopexy.
