Torsion of the testis is a true surgical emergency in paediatric age group. Prompt recognition of the condition and immediate surgical intervention is the only hope for testicular salvage. The condition becomes all the more important when this occurs in an undescended testis as the diagnosis is often delayed, and therefore the treatment too. A six-month old infant presented with the torsion of an undescended testis. Even prompt exploration could not avoid the necrosis and orchidectomy was done. Therefore to avoid this almost unsalvageable condition the orchiopexy must be considered at an earlier age.
睾丸扭转在儿童年龄组中是真正的外科急症。迅速识别病情并立即进行手术干预是挽救睾丸的唯一希望。当这种情况发生在隐睾时，情况就变得更加重要了，因为诊断往往会延迟，治疗也会延迟。一名6个月大的婴儿出现隐睾扭转。即使迅速进行探查也无法避免坏死，因此进行了睾丸切除术。因此，为了避免这种几乎无法挽救的情况，必须在更早的年龄考虑进行睾丸固定术。
