Patient Query in Adolescent Testicular Torsion Cases: "Was it Necessary to Mention My Scrotal Pain?"
Feride Mehmetoğlu
Abstract:This study investigates the reasons for the failure to diagnose testicular torsion (TT) in different healthcare facilities (HCFs) and by various physicians.
MethodWe retrospectively analyzed all male patients who underwent TT surgery within the adolescent age group between 2015 and 2023. Healthy adolescent patients who initially presented or were referred to an HCF and were subsequently diagnosed at our hospital for TT surgery were analyzed, focusing on why they were not diagnosed earlier.
