Testicular detorsion using Doppler ultrasound monitoring.
In one year's time, eight of 11 cases of torsion of the testicle were successfully untwisted in the emergency room. The doppler ultrasound was used to document return of blood flow after detorsion. Subsequent fixation of both testes may be done on a less urgent basis.
