Description
Luke Turner and Alison Campbell review ten years of cases from 2024 work on a rare emergency in newborn boys, where a testicle twists and loses blood flow. Care teams disagree on how fast to operate and whether to fix the other side at the same time.
In their unit, most infants with suspected twisting were taken to surgery, and most had both sides checked. A few testes were saved, and fixing the other side caused no harm from anesthesia. One rare case had twisting on both sides. The authors argue that prompt surgery on both sides is low risk and worth doing.
