Abstract
Torsions of the spermatic cord must be treated in time: fast detorsion and firm fixation of the testicle in the scrotal wall. Since 1985 we have operated on more than 100 patients suffering from this dangerous condition, 70% of which were treated using fibrin glue alone to anchor the saved organ in the scrotum. In the remaining 30% torsion had resulted in loss of the testicle or semicastration. The results after fixation using fibrin adhesive alone are encouraging. We have never observed any recurrence of torsion or related complaints after using this new procedure.
