Parenchymal Echo Texture Predicts Testicular Salvage After Torsion: Potential Impact on the Need for Emergent Exploration

Abstract

In the setting of Doppler proven testicular torsion heterogeneous parenchymal echo texture indicates late torsion and testicular nonviability. Therefore, the case may not require emergent scrotal exploration. On the other hand, homogeneous echo texture portends extremely well for testicular viability. Thus, such testes should be explored emergently.
