Abstract | Objectives: To compare impact of day or on-call team, pediatric or adult attending, and patient age on testicular torsion management and outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study of patients with testicular torsion between 2012 and 2022 at a single institution was conducted. Variables impacting management time were assessed using univariate analyses. Results: One hundred and thirty-four patients were included: 49 underwent orchiectomies and 84 underwent orchiopexies. There was no significant difference between efficiency of on-call vs day team regarding time to ultrasound or time to operating room (OR). There were no significant differences between pediatric vs adult attending surgeons for time to surgery, intraoperative length of surgery, or testicular salvage rates. However, when patients were stratified by age greater or younger than 18years, older patients had significantly longer symptom duration (91.9 vs 20.0 minutes, P = .005), time to receive an ultrasound from emergency room registration (152 vs 87 minutes, P < .001), time to OR from emergency room registration (268 vs 185 minutes, P < .001), and time to OR from ultrasound read (187 vs 123 minutes, P = .03). Older patients also had lower rates of testicular salvage approaching significance (orchiectomy rate 48.8% vs 31.5%, P = .057). Conclusion: While no significant delays in testicular torsion management were detected between management by on-call vs day team nor pediatric vs adult attending, increased age of patient was associated with delays in definitive surgical management. Greater index of suspicion for testicular torsion diagnosis in adult patients may improve the rate of testicular salvage. |
