“…After 4 h of testicular ischemia, sufficient damage is inflicted on the affected testis enough to result in hemorrhagic infarction and atrophy. [29] With prolonged testicular torsion, there is germinal cell ischemia and necrosis. [29] Early diagnosis and prompt effective treatment will improve testicular salvage.…”
