Testicular torsion is a common important urological emergency. Testicles usually undergo various degrees of rotation in a medial (inward) direction. Manual detorsion is a critical maneuver, allowing to prevent testis viability in patients with delay to get into the operation room. Testis torsion rarely occurs in lateral direction. It is important for patients undergoing manual detorsion. Hereby, we present a case of atypical lateral (outward) torsion who performed preoperative manual derotation.
睾丸扭转是一种常见且重要的泌尿外科急症。睾丸通常会向内(向内侧)发生不同程度的扭转。手法复位是一项关键操作,可防止延迟进入手术室的患者睾丸丧失活力。睾丸扭转很少发生在向外(向外侧)方向。这对于接受手法复位的患者很重要。在此,我们报告一例术前进行手法复位的非典型外侧(向外)扭转病例。
