Rule Out

Observations based on 26 cases lead the authors to believe that torsion of the appendix testis is an athletic injury. The condition is often misdiagnosed, resulting in prolonged discomfort and sometimes recurrence of the condition. Surgery is the accepted form of treatment, because it provides prompt relief from the pain, prevents recurrence and, in some cases, is required to rule out torsion of the spermatic cord. The approach to the lesion should be through the inguinal region and not the scrotum.

Prompt Treatment

The children presenting with acute scrotum have many diseases in differential diagnosis and testicular torsion in undescended testis and normal testis is an important consideration. Torsion of the testis, or more correctly, torsion of the spermatic cord, is a surgical emergency because it causes strangulation of gonadal blood supply with subsequent testicular necrosis and atrophy. In most of cases history and physical examination are sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis. While other causes may require simple treatment but torsion require immediate exploration to save the testis. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to help such children.

Sphere Of Influence

Modern surgery is taking over more and more organs, recapturing more and more areas of internal medicine. We see that in its great progressive movement surgery gradually involves within its sphere of influence a whole range of diseases that previously belonged exclusively to the sphere of internal medicine, such as some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, lungs, etc. We see that even those organs, which until so recently were considered inaccessible to the art of the surgeon, are beginning to be subject to surgical intervention. Such last inviolable organ, on which the hand of the surgeon has not encroached for a long time, is the heart.
