Overview
If left untreated, patients with testicular tortion may progress to develop ischemia,atrophy, and infertility.[1] Common complications of testicular tortion include ischemia, atrophy, and infertility.[1] Prognosis in early stage of testicular cancer without metastases is very good, and the 10-year survival rate of patients with metastatic testicular cancer is approximately 66-94%.[2]
