Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that requires prompt exploration if testicular viability is to be maintained. Although rare, it is essential to be aware that it may occur despite previous fixation (orchidopexy). Testicular torsion occurring after previous orchidopexy is rare, but recognition of this possibility is essential to prevent testicular infarction and subsequent orchidectomy. During scrotal exploration a wide variety of methods for orchidopexy exist. We present a case of testicular torsion despite previous fixation and discuss the merits of various techniques available for orchidopexy.
睾丸扭转是一种外科急症，如果要维持睾丸的存活能力，就需要迅速进行探查。虽然罕见，但必须意识到，即使先前已进行过固定术（睾丸固定术），仍有可能发生睾丸扭转。先前睾丸固定术后发生的睾丸扭转很罕见，但认识到这种可能性对于预防睾丸梗死及随后的睾丸切除术至关重要。在阴囊探查过程中，存在多种睾丸固定术的方法。我们报告一例尽管先前已进行固定但仍发生睾丸扭转的病例，并讨论各种可用的睾丸固定术技术的优点。
