Purpose: This study was aimed at the assessment of patients who have applied to the Urological Clinic of the University of Fırat for the last 10 years with the cause of testicular tortion. The means and method: between January 2008 and September 2018 the cause of testicular tortion was assessed by 50 patients who apply to the Urological Clinic of the University of Fırat. The events were assessed in terms of age, approximation, time, side, diagnosis methods, findings of surgery and the variety of surgery. The average age of patients was 23.54±11.8 (1−51) years. In 25 patients left and in 25 patients right testicular tortion was detected. The average time between the start of the complaints and the hospital application was 25 (2–72) hours. All of the patients were diagnosed with scrotal doppler USG and checked for physical examination. In 8 of the patients, tortion was corrected by manual detection (4 left, 4 right) and in 21 patients, testicular bleeding after surgery was re-acquired and testicular fixation was applied to these patients (9 left, 12 right). All patients with manual or surgical detection have been shown to have scrotal doppler usg bleeding. The remaining 21 patients were observed frequent bleeding and heart attack during surgery while tortion was corrected with surgery while testicular bleeding was not observed (12 left, 9 right). Result: Testis tortion should be taken into account in other distinctive diagnoses that cause acute scrotum and requires rapid intervention.
