To determine whether there is a correlation between seasonal temperature change and frequency of testicular torsion.
An observational study.
Departments of Urology, Hitit University Corum Training and Research Hospital, Corum and Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, from June 2005 to December 2014.
Patients who had been diagnosed with testicular torsion and operated in the last 10 years were retrospectively reached through the hospital records. The seasons and the seasonal average temperature occuring in this region were recorded.
The median (IQR) age of the patients was 14 (10.8 - 17.0) years. Testicular torsion was on the right side in 18 (60%) and left side in 12 (40%) patients. Twenty-four (80%) patients underwent surgical detorsion and bilateral testicular fixation while 6 (20%) patients underwent orchiectomy. There were 14 (46.6%) cases in the winter months, 7 (23.3%) in the spring months, 4 (13.3%) in the summer months, and 5 (16.6%) in the fall months. Acute testicular torsion in the winter to be statistically significant (p<0.05).
Acute testicular torsion was seen more commonly in cold season with low temperature.
确定季节性温度变化与睾丸扭转发生率之间是否存在相关性。
一项观察性研究。
土耳其科鲁姆希提特大学培训与研究医院泌尿外科以及安卡拉培训与研究医院，时间从2005年6月至2014年12月。
通过医院记录对过去10年中被诊断为睾丸扭转并接受手术治疗的患者进行回顾性研究。记录该地区出现的季节及季节平均温度。
患者的年龄中位数（四分位间距）为14（10.8 - 17.0）岁。18例（60%）患者睾丸扭转发生在右侧，12例（40%）发生在左侧。24例（80%）患者接受了手术复位及双侧睾丸固定术，6例（20%）患者接受了睾丸切除术。冬季有14例（46.6%），春季有7例（23.3%），夏季有4例（13.3%），秋季有5例（16.6%）。冬季急性睾丸扭转具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。
急性睾丸扭转在低温的寒冷季节更为常见。
