Tunica Vaginalis Flap for Prevention of Testicular Torsion Complications

Abstract

Torsion of the spermatic cord is a true surgical emergency of the highest order. We present our experience of two boys with testicular torsion to demonstrate that after re-approximation of the tunica albuginea in testes exposed to prolonged ischemia, the ischemic appearance returns. We can reduce intra-testicular pressure and save testicular pressure with using tunica vaginalis flap.
