Topic overview
No rapid test to diagnose testicular torsion (TT) exists. The usefulness of trans-scrotal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) remains to be proven in children. Here, we measured testicular oxygenation (StO2%) in children with unilateral TT and compared values to those measured in children with another cause of testicular pain and in control subjects.
