PY - 2018 T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Testicular torsion was first described in the English literature in 1907.1 Testicular torsion occurs when the testicle twists around its axis and causes vascular compromise of the testicle (Figure 182-1). Testicular torsion is a clinically diagnosed and time-sensitive emergency. The goal of the Emergency Physician is to suspect the diagnosis, make the diagnosis, and facilitate rapid operative detorsion by a Urologist. Manual detorsion can be attempted while awaiting surgical intervention.
