Zusammenfassung:A total of 201 urgent scrotal explorations for unilateral painful testis was performed over a six-year period. Seventy-two (36%) testicular torsions were identified. Fifty-seven (79%) testes were salvaged and fifteen (21 %) orchiectomies were done. Although the annual number of scrotal explorations increased over the years of study, no benefit in terms of increased testicular salvage could be identified.
