Comparative Analysis of Detorsion Alone Versus Detorsion and Tunica Albuginea Decompression (Fasciotomy) with Tunica Vaginalis Flap Coverage in the Surgical Management of Prolonged Testicular Ischemia

Abstract

This preliminary experience suggests that tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage is a promising option for the management of clinically marginal torsed testes, enhancing salvageability after prolonged ischemia. We recommend considering this maneuver before performing orchiectomy in selected cases of testicular torsion.
