Anatomic Comparison of the Ipsilateral and the Contralateral Testis in Intravaginal Torsion

Abstract: Sixteen cases of intravaginal testicular torsion were studied to compare the intrascrotal anatomy with that of the contralateral testis and to determine possible anatomic predisposition to testicular torsion. The anatomy of the contralateral testis was not always similar to that of the ipsilateral testis, and four of the contralateral testes were judged to be without risk of torsion.

“…An anomaly in the suspensory structures, similar to that of torsed testes, is also present in the contralateral testis. This anomaly does not occur in all cases and, when present, is not as severe [148].…”

“…Estos datos apoyan la política de que el testículo contralateral no debería explorarse de manera sistemática ni se debería eliminar su apéndice, a no ser que haya torsión testicular isolateral. Para confirmar este dato, la malformación en forma de badajo de campana de la túnica vaginal y los testículos se ha asociado con la torsión aguda testicular, aunque, según los estudios de Ishizuka et al 6 , no hay uniformidad respecto a su existencia de manera bilateral y, según Caesar et al 7 estaría en el 12% de las muestras; una incidencia mucho mayor que el riesgo de torsión testicular a lo largo de toda una vida. Además, Mor et al 8 identificaron que 8 de 179 pacientes (4,5%) experimentaron torsión tras una fijación testicular.…”
