Suspected testicular torsion – urological or general surgical emergency?

摘要

INTRODUCTIONSuspected testicular torsion (TT) is a surgical emergency, usually requiring urgent scrotal exploration. Provision of urology on-call cover varies widely between hospitals and often falls under the remit of the general surgical team. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the management of suspected TT differed between urology (UT) and surgical (ST) trainees in the Severn and South West Peninsula Deaneries.
