We compared testicular surgical salvage in testicular torsion patients submitted to manual detorsion either at clinical diagnosis (immediate detorsion) or after interhospital transfer from lower level-of-care facilities (delayed detorsion) and estimated the influence of interhospital transfer and surgical wait times on outcomes. Analysis included Bayesian logistic regression after propensity score matching. We excluded patients first examined at off-state and private facilities, with prediagnostic time of more than 24 hours, not initially diagnosed with testicular torsion or not submitted to manual detorsion at any time.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>One hundred sixty-two patients (median age, 15.8 years) fulfilled inclusion criteria. The median prediagnostic, transfer, and surgical wait times were respectively 4.9, 2.4, and 4.3 hours, with 58 patients undergoing immediate and 104 delayed detorsion. Propensity score matching for prediagnostic and surgical wait times paired 58 immediate with 40 delayed detorsion patients, with corresponding surgical salvage rates of 54\/58 (93%) and 33\/40 (82%). Forty-seven patients (29%) still had torsion at surgery. Transfer time was inversely associated with testicular salvage, with median 13% greater probability of an unfavorable outcome for each hour of transfer time. Similarly, each hour of surgical wait time decreased surgical salvage by 6%.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Immediate detorsion led to improved surgical outcomes in testicular torsion patients.
