This preliminary experience suggests that tunica albuginea incision with tunica vaginalis flap coverage is a promising option for the management of clinically marginal torsed testes, enhancing salvageability after prolonged ischemia. We recommend considering this maneuver before performing orchiectomy in selected cases of testicular torsion.

Cryptorchidism is one of the most common congenital anomalies in males, characterized by inability to palpate the testicle in the expected normal anatomical position (i.e., within its respective hemi-scrotum). It represents an abnormality of testicular descent and development associated with long-term concerns, including infertility, hypogonadism, and development of neoplasms.
