“…For these patients, even a very small amount of functioning testicular tissue will be so important. In a case report, it was shown that plasma testosterone level could be maintained after detorsion of 8 h-torsioned solitary testis [18]. Arap et al [19] also demonstrated that testicular steroidogenesis and endocrinological profile was normal in detorsioned patients.…”

Background: Testicular torsion is an emergency condition in which spermatogenesis may be irreversibly damaged. There have been controversial results about the effect of testicular torsion on steroidogenesis. We aimed at investigating the effect of testicular torsion on steroidogenesis. Material and Methods: A total of 40 adult male rats were divided into 4 groups. Left testicles were removed in all groups. Right testicles were torsioned and remained in the torsion position for 1, 3 and 5 h in study groups, whereas no torsion was performed in control. Serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and total testosterone (TT) levels were measured on the 3rd and 30th days of surgery and orchiectomy was performed on the 30th day of testicular torsion for histopathological evaluation. Results: TT levels of study groups were significantly lower than that of the control group on the 3rd day of torsion. LH of study groups was higher than that of the control group, but the difference was significant only in the 5 h-torsion group. The total number of Leydig cells increased in 1- and 3-h groups, whereas it decreased in the 5-hour group. Conclusion: Testosterone production and Leydig cell functions significantly decreased after 5 h torsion in the rat model. The duration of torsion less than 5 h yielded partial dysfunction on steroidogenesis.

“…This is a rare finding in children but frequently observed (80.8%) in our untreated patients with HH. In a case report, Woodruff et al reported that a patient with testicular torsion and absent blood flow on Doppler was rescued on conservative management, and it was found that blood flow recovered with time (18). It remains questionable whether we can apply our findings to other scrotal disorders, and it needs further research.…”

“…Liguori et al demonstrated successful cryopreservation 10 days after injury. Woodruff et al also published a successful case of emergency cryopreservation of semen in a patient who experienced torsion of a solitary testis. This was not included in our literature review as there was no history of trauma.…”
