Description
Avula Aishwarya Rao and co-authors reviewed surgery outcomes for twisted testicles in two thousand twenty-six. A twist cuts blood flow and is a surgical emergency. The standard fix untwists the cord and stitches the testicle in place. Parents and patients often ask about future fertility. Long-term proof on that question is scattered and mixed.
The review gathered studies that tracked fertility after the fix. It covered case reports, group studies, and trials. Only work on torsion cases was included, not undescended testicles. Removal of the testicle was also ruled out of scope. Outcomes covered sperm traits and fatherhood where reported. The authors sort strong from weak evidence for counseling. Their summary helps surgeons answer family questions honestly.
