LONG-TERM PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF THE COMBINATION OF INTERMITTENT REPERFUSION AND HYPOTHERMIA ON REPERFUSION INJURY IN AN EXPERIMENTAL TESTICULAR TORSION MODEL

Experimental rat study demonstrates that intermittent reperfusion and hypothermia techniques significantly reduce long-term testicular damage following torsion-detorsion injury. Both methods showed comparable protective effects at 60 days, offering clinically applicable, low-cost strategies to minimize reperfusion injury in testicular torsion cases.
