Abstract

The platelet-rich plasma has beneficial effects on spermatogenesis and reproductive hormone production in testicular torsion. It is easily accessible and applicable. In the future, intra-testicular platelet-rich plasma injection may be used in testicular torsion after detorsion. However, further experimental and large-scale prospective clinical studies are needed to establish a definitive conclusion on this topic.
