[The surgical procedure in testicular torsion in children].
The results of treatment of 37 children with torsion of a testicle, including 18 (48.6%) under 2 years of age, are presented. In doubtful viability, a testicle after untwisting was placed into its bed and observed for 12-24 h. Orchiectomy was performed only in total lack of viability. A testicle was preserved in 24(64.8%) of the 33 patients. Two to five years after the operation, a good result was noted in 11, a satisfactory one--in 8, and unsatisfactory one--in 5 patients.
