Treatment consists of untwisting the testes and immediate surgical repair by orchiopexy (fixation of a viable testis to the scrotum) or orchiectomy (excision of a nonviable testis). Both testes are usually anchored to the scrotum as a preventive measure. As with ovarian torsion in the female, preservation of the organ is the preferred option. If surgery is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved.
