Testicular Torsion Repair - Series: Procedure
General anesthesia is used and the patient is deep asleep and pain-free. An incision is made in the scrotum, the testicle is uncoiled, and an absorbable suture is placed to secure the testis from rotating again. The unaffected testicle is also secured by suture because the problem tends to occur on both sides and the unaffected side is at increased risk for torsion at a later date
