Modulation of Thrombosis Significantly Reduces Testicular Damage after Testicular Torsion in Rats: Anti-Thrombotic Treatment and Testicular Torsion

摘要

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of thrombolysis and/or anticoagulation on testicular viability after testicular tortion (TT) was the aim of this study. It has been suggested that alterations of circulation during TT result in thrombus formation that might prevent sufficient perfusion after detorsion. Due to the narrow safety margin of testicular perfusion, even moderate disturbances in blood supply can cause major testicular damage.
