Why Testicular Torsion Surgery Is Needed
This emergency surgery is performed when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testicle — usually due to a congenital anatomical predisposition (bell-clapper deformity) that allows the testicle to rotate more freely than normal, sometimes triggered by physical activity, trauma, or occurring spontaneously during sleep.
Signs You May Need Testicular Torsion Surgery
Warning signs include sudden, severe testicular pain and swelling, nausea and vomiting, and a testicle that appears higher than normal or at an abnormal angle — this is a surgical emergency, as the testicle can be permanently damaged within hours if blood flow isn't restored.
Types of Testicular Torsion Surgery
The standard procedure is surgical detorsion (untwisting) followed by orchiopexy, which stitches the testicle to the inside of the scrotum to prevent future twisting; if the testicle is no longer viable due to prolonged loss of blood supply, orchiectomy (removal) may be necessary, and the unaffected testicle is often fixed in place preventively at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do I need to get treated?
This is a true emergency — the testicle has the best chance of survival if surgery happens within 6 hours of symptom onset, so any sudden severe testicular pain needs immediate emergency care.
Will I lose the testicle?
If treated quickly, the testicle can often be saved; delayed treatment beyond several hours significantly increases the risk that the testicle will need to be removed.
Will this affect my fertility?
Losing one testicle usually doesn't significantly affect fertility since the remaining testicle can compensate, but your urologist can discuss your specific situation.
Why does the other testicle get fixed too?
The anatomical predisposition that caused the torsion is often present on both sides, so fixing the other testicle prevents a future torsion there.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery is usually quick, around 1-2 weeks, with some scrotal swelling and discomfort expected initially.
