Abstract
Evidence shows that patients having testicular torsion usually present to the emergency department to apply immediate interventions. Immediate manual detorsion has been validated among different investigations as a productive technique for the initial management of testicular torsion. In the present literature review, we have elaborated on the success of manual detorsion for patients with torsion according to findings from previous relevant studies. Our findings indicate the favorable events that can be obtained after using manual detorsion. However, some studies reported that the success rate for the modality is not very high. In addition, it has been reported to reduce the time of ischemia as a temporary measure until surgery is prepared. Evidence also shows that the approach's efficacy is superior to that of surgical exploration and should be used since the time of diagnosis to prevent further deterioration of the affected case and enhance perfusion. However, the current evidence is based on a limited number of investigations that validated the efficacy of manual detorsion among a small population. Accordingly, we encourage further studies to be conducted in this context further to validate the current evidence with more adequate sample sizes.
