The left testis was affected in six patients. The median age of patients at the time of the surgery was 65 months (interquartile range (IQR) 4–136 months). The median duration of symptoms was 16 h (IQR 9–25 h), while the median time to treatment was 60 min (IQR 59–63 min). The most common symptoms were pain (abdominal and inguinal) and inguinal mass with no palpable testis in the ipsilateral hemiscrotum. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasonography revealed absent or decreased testicular blood flow in the affected testes in 7/8 of patients. Various degrees of testicular torsion (median 540°, min 360°, max 1260°) were found during surgery. A necrotic testis that led to orchidectomy was found in 4/8 of patients.
