Abstract

1. 1. Torsion of the testicle is not a rare condition and the diagnosis should always be considered in cases of testicular pain. 2. 2. Successful treatment of torsion is immediate surgery with detorsion and fixation of the testicle to prevent recurrence. 3. 3. Orchidectomy may be avoided by early diagnosis and the institution of immediate surgery avoiding all procrastination. 4. 4. In cases of doubt as to the absolute certainty of the diagnosis, surgical exploration under local anesthesia of the involved testicle is advised. 5. 5. A case of torsion of the right testicle in which manual detorsion was unsuccessful and in which surgical detorsion accompanied by fixation of the testicle was successful is presented for record.
