Definition of Testicular torsion repair
Testicular torsion repair is surgery to untangle a spermatic cord. The spermatic cord is the collection of blood vessels in the scrotum leading to the testicles. If it twists or turns, develops. This torsion (pulling and twisting) blocks blood flow to the testicle.
