Testicular torsion after previous surgical fixation

Abstract

Recurrent testicular torsion after previous surgical fixation is uncommon. We present the case of a 13-year-old male with a previous history of left testicular torsion requiring left orchiectomy and right fixation that presented to the emergency room with testicular torsion in the remaining testis. We discuss management and review the literature. Keywords: Orhchidopexy, Torsion, Re-torsion
