Abstract
- Torsion of the appendix testis ranks second in causes of acute scrotal swelling in children Prompt surgical exploration in children with torsion of the appendix testis is necessary if scrotal swelling obscures diagnosis or induces persistent scrotal pain. Exploration of both testes at the first operation adds little trouble to the operation and eliminates the possibility of Further torsion.
