A simplified ultrasound approach to diagnose testicular torsion and predict unsalvageable testis

CONCLUSIONS: Conditional inference tree analysis showed that the whirlpool sign of the spermatic cord, avascular nodule, and altered testicular vascularity were significant discriminators. Heterogeneous echotexture and symptom-to-operation delay were important prognostic factors for unsalvageable testis.PMID:35437523 | DOI:10.11152/mu-3507
