Intervention groups

1

Description
The intervention group is the patients for whom fasciotomy, detorsion, and orchiopexy will be performed. Patients should undergo surgery within 6 hours.First, the patient is put under general anesthesia, and after making a skin incision on the scrotum and opening the subcutaneous tissue and tunica vaginalis, the testicle is taken out first, detour is performed, and blood supply is established. For torsion of the left testicle, first the testicle is rotated clockwise, and for the right testicle, we do the opposite, i.e. it is rotated counterclockwise. For fasciotomy, a cut is first made on the tunica albuginea, and a flap of the tunica vaginalis is placed on the incision site and fixed with PDS=4_0 thread (ethicon company).
