However, up to 50 per cent of the patients with acute torsion have experienced previous episodes of acute testicular pain. The features of resolved acute torsion in 9 patients are described. It is suggested that if an elective orchiopexy is performed after an episode of resolved acute torsion then the over-all rate of testicular salvage should improve by obviating subsequent acute torsion. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byHayn M, Herz D, Bellinger M and Schneck F (2008) Intermittent Torsion of the Spermatic Cord Portends an Increased Risk of Acute Testicular InfarctionJournal of Urology, VOL. 180, NO. 4S, (1729-1732), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2008.EATON S, CENDRON M, ESTRADA C, BAUER S, BORER J, CILENTO B, DIAMOND D, RETIK A and PETERS C (2018) INTERMITTENT TESTICULAR TORSION: DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES AND MANAGEMENT OUTCOMESJournal of Urology, VOL. 174, NO. 4 Part 2, (1532-1535), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2005.Schulsinger D, Glassberg K and Strashun A (2018) Intermittent Torsion: Association with Horizontal Lie of the TesticleJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 5, (1053-1055), Online publication date: 1-May-1991.Udeh F (2018) Testicular Torsion: Nigerian ExperienceJournal of Urology, VOL. 134, NO. 3, (482-484), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1985.
