title: Anatomic comparison of the ipsilateral and the contralateral testis in intravaginal torsion.
abstract: Sixteen cases of intravaginal testicular torsion were studied to compare the intrascrotal anatomy with that of the contralateral testis and to determine possible anatomic predisposition to testicular torsion. The anatomy of the contralateral testis was not always similar to that of the ipsilateral testis, and four of the contralateral testes were judged to be without risk of torsion.
