Perinatal Testicular Torsion – Seeking the Timeline and Finding Unexpected Pathologic Evidence

Key Points

• The study aims to explore the timeline of damage in perinatal testicular torsion and uncover any unusual pathological findings.
• Examined testes damaged at least one week prior to surgery
• Analyzed sonographic and histologic findings
• Identified tissue viability alongside pathology markers
• All testes showed evidence of damage before surgery
• No correlation between sonographic and histologic findings
• Viable tissue found in areas with necrosis and calcifications indicating ischemia-reperfusion injury
