Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The effects of unilateral testicular torsion on the blood flow of the contralateral testis were investigated. Fourteen adult male dogs were recruited. Seven dogs underwent unilateral testicular torsion of 4 h duration, and the other seven dogs had a control operation. Testicular blood flow was determined by colour Doppler ultrasonography before and after the testicular torsion. Bilateral orchidectomy was performed at the end of the study and histopathological changes were evaluated. Values of peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and resistive index were not statistically significant between ipsilateral and contralateral testes in the study group (p > 0.05). On comparison with the control group, blood flow in the contralateral testes showed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). Oedema and congestion were seen on ipsilateral testes in the study group. No histopathological changes were noted on the contralateral testes. Minimal oedema and congestion secondary to manipulation were found in the control operation testes. We conclude that unilateral testicular torsion does not decrease contralateral testicular blood flow as shown by colour Doppler ultrasonography. |
