Manipulation of torsion of the testicle.
Testicular torsion, although not an uncommon clinical entity, is likely to be unrecognized, particularly if the patient is not within the expected age range. Manual derotation can readily be achieved and will significantly improve results of ultimate treatment. All painful scrotal masses should be considered possible torsed testes, unless obvious predisposing factors exclude its diagnosis.
