[Fertility after experimental torsion of the spermatic cord (author's transl)].

In groups of 10 specimens the testicles of 100 Wistar rats were half unilaterally half bilaterally rotated 720 degrees and retorted 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after torsion. The fertility rate was investigated by copulation experiments following experimental torsion of the spermatic cord. Fertility was demonstrated by pregancy.
