"With prompt diagnosis and treatment the testicle can be saved.
Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that needs immediate intervention. If treated within 6 hours, there is an excellent chance of saving the testicle. Within 12 hours the rate decreases to 50%, within 24 hours is 10%, and after 24 hours the rate approaches 0. Once the testicle is dead it must be removed to prevent gangrenous infection."
