A total of 201 urgent scrotal explorations for unilateral painful testis was performed over a six-year period. Seventy-two (36%) testicular torsions were identified. Fifty-seven (79%) testes were salvaged and fifteen (21%) orchiectomies were done. Although the annual number of scrotal explorations increased over the years of study, no benefit in terms of increased testicular salvage could be identified.
在六年时间里，共进行了201例针对单侧疼痛性睾丸的急诊阴囊探查术。其中发现72例（36%）为睾丸扭转。57例（79%）睾丸得以挽救，15例（21%）进行了睾丸切除术。尽管在研究期间阴囊探查术的年例数有所增加，但未发现睾丸挽救率提高方面的益处。
