Cpt code for manual detorsion of testicle

Recent studies demonstrated that duration of symptoms prior to presentation to hospital was the most significant factor in predicting outcomes in patients with acute testicular torsion. It is a urological emergency early diagnosis and surgery are vital to saving the testicle and preserving future fertility. Testicular torsion refers to the twisting of the spermatic cord structures with the subsequent loss of perfusion to the homolateral testicle. In addition, it also shows that older patients tend to present with right-sided torsion. Testicular salvage is possible beyond 72В h from the onset of symptoms, although the salvage rate reduces from 75% within 24В h to 3.6% beyond 72В h. This study shows that there is a significant association between the pre-surgery duration of symptoms and the testicular salvage rate. The odds of presenting with a right -sided testicular torsion increases by 6% ( pвЂ‰=вЂ‰0.047) for every 1-year increase in age. In the 112 patients who underwent a bilateral orchidopexy, the time from onset of symptoms to surgery was significantly shorter at a median (IQR) of 13 (9вЂ“26) h, compared to 144 (40вЂ“264) h in the 194 patients who had an orchidectomy ( pвЂ‰<вЂ‰0.0001). Although the orchidectomy rate was higher (95%) in those who had surgery beyond 72В h, 3.6% had reperfusion after detorsion in theater followed by orchidopexy. The median (IQR) time from onset to hospital was 47В h, and 194/308 (63%) underwent orchidectomy. ResultsДЄ total of 308 patients with testicular torsion were included in this study the mean age was 17.2вЂ‰В±вЂ‰4.12 (10вЂ“33) years. This was a retrospective study conducted at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital using patientsвЂ™ records from 2006 to 2018 from which data were obtained and analyzed. The study was carried out to determine the trend of referrals with testicular torsion the pre-surgery duration of symptoms the rate of orchidectomy as well as the seasonality and the age-related laterality of testicular torsion.
