Little data exists on demographics, patient risk factors, and associated outcomes for the surgical management of testicular torsion. This study sought to describe differences in demographics and outcomes for those patients requiring orchiopexy or orchiectomy.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Materials and methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>An analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2015\u20132018) was performed, capturing patients with a postoperative diagnosis of testicular torsion. Patients were stratified into 2 groups if they received orchiopexy or orchiectomy. Demographics, perioperative variables, surgeon specialty, and outcomes were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 769 patients undergoing surgical treatment of testicular torsion were captured. Most of these patients were White (46.81%) and young adults (28.33\u200a\u00b1\u200a12.04\u200ayears) and 28.8% required orchiectomy. Those undergoing orchiectomy were more likely to be older, have more comorbidities, and have a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Mean operative time was longer in the orchiectomy group (48\u200a\u00b1\u200a23 vs. 44\u200a\u00b1\u200a20\u200aminutes, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\u200a&lt;\u200a0.0124). There were no deaths at 30\u200adays. Length of stay and rate of superficial wound infection were higher in the orchiectomy group and discharge to home was more likely in the orchiopexy group.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Adult testicular torsion should be considered in an acute scrotum differential. Adult patients requiring orchiectomy for testicular torsion are more likely to have confounding medical conditions compared to those undergoing orchiopexy. Clinically, rates of complications between the 2 procedures are small, making the decision to perform orchiopexy or orchiectomy based on the scenario.<\/jats:p>\n
