INTRODUCTION: Testicular torsion may be an important cause of male infertility. We aimed to investigate the late hormonal function in patients with testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury of the testis after orchidectomy or detorsion.
METHODS: Twenty patients (mean age, 13.6 years) were prospectively evaluated at a mean of 5 years after testicular torsion. The serum follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone (before and after gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation), testosterone, and inhibin B were measured. Fifteen age-matched adolescents without evidence of endocrine disease were used as controls for inhibin B values. Data are quoted as mean +/- SEM.
RESULTS: Twelve patients were treated with detorsion and orchidopexy, and 8 underwent orchidectomy. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone were all within the reference range. Inhibin B levels were significantly reduced in the 2 groups compared with the controls (34.5 +/- 5.2 vs 63.9 +/- 12.8 pg/mL, P = .02), but were not significantly different between the orchidectomy group and the group that underwent detorsion (41.3 +/- 9.7 vs 30.4 +/- 5.9 pg/mL, P = .41).
CONCLUSION: Hormonal testicular function can be compromised after testicular torsion, although the type of surgery (orchidectomy or orchidopexy) does not seem to change the effect of this ischemia/reperfusion injury.
