Bilateral Testicular Torsion: A Systematic Review of Case Reports

Abstract

Bilateral testicular torsion is a rare but serious condition characterized by twisting both testicles around their respective spermatic cords, leading to reduced blood flow and potential loss of the testicles. Treatment of this condition may involve surgical detorsion of the affected testicles and fixation to prevent recurrence and, in some cases, removal of severely damaged testicles. In April 2023, a systematic review of case reports was performed to examine the presentation, clinical features, diagnostic process, and management of bilateral testicular torsion. Our search encompassed the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Out of 340 studies, only eight cases met our criteria. However, this review discusses bilateral testicular torsion symptoms, investigation, and outcome.
