PURPOSE: Perinatal testicular torsion is a rare condition in which testicular salvage rates are significantly low and management is controversial. We retrospectively evaluated our patients and aimed to go through our management approach.
METHODS: The newborn patients who underwent surgery for testicular torsion in two tertiary referral centers between 2000 and 2019 are enrolled. Radiological and clinical findings are retrospectively evaluated.
RESULTS: Thirty-two newborns are enrolled in the study. All of the cases were unilateral and 30 ended up with immediate orchidectomy while 2 received orchidopexy but both underwent atrophy on follow-up. No bilateral torsion is demonstrated neither in 16 patients with bilateral exploration nor in the follow up of the rest 16 with unilateral exploration. Intravaginal torsion was encountered in five patients (16%). No morbidity or mortality related to anesthesia is documented. No malignancy is encountered in any of the patients.
CONCLUSION: Although ipsilateral testicular salvage rates are low, urgent bilateral exploration in a multidisciplinary center seems reasonable to give a chance to the ipsilateral testis and to avoid the rare but catastrophic bilateral torsion, after discussing with the family.
