We describe a recent case of perinatal testicular torsion at our institution. The presentation, management and outcome of perinatal testicular torsion are quite different to testicular torsion in the general paediatric population. The literature describes a variety of management options for perinatal testicular torsion and these are briefly reviewed. In cases of unilateral perinatal testicular torsin, there is controversy over whether surgery to fix the contralateral testis is required, and if so, the appropriate timing for the surgery. A good understanding of the issues unique to perinatal torsion will facilitate appropriate counseling of parents of affected neonates.

A 10-Year Single Center Analysis: Is There a Need to Reconsider Our Approach to the Management of Neonatal Testicular Torsion?

The management of neonatal testicular torsion lacks consensus. Arguments in favor of emergency bilateral exploration and fixation include a salvage rate and the incidence of bilateral torsion. We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of all cases of neonatal torsion in our unit between 2012 and 2022 to assess whether our data supports this approach and to publish further data on a disease on which there remains a paucity.

Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical management decisions, and outcomes of Neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) in order to offer guidance for future clinical practice.
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with NTT who were admitted and underwent surgery from January 2008 to October 2023.
Results: A total of 24 neonates were enrolled in this study, all of whom were unilateral cases.

There is limited experimental evidence on the biochemical consequences of aluminium (Al) and cadmium (Cd) co-exposures during pregnancy and postnatal life.This study investigated the impacts of perinatal Al chloride (AlCl) and Cd chloride (CdCl) co-exposures on neuroendocrine functions in mice offspring during postnatal life. The study comprised of four pregnant experimental groups.

Article Synopsis
- Minipuberty is a crucial phase in male infants characterized by increased reproductive hormone activity, essential for the development of genital organs.
- This study examined the impact of maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on this process by comparing three groups of male infants with varying maternal thyroid conditions.
- Results showed that infants of mothers with uncontrolled hypothyroidism (group A) had lower levels of testosterone and gonadotropins, along with reduced penile length and testicular volume, indicating that untreated thyroid issues negatively affect male hormone activation and genital development post-birth.

Article Synopsis
- * An analysis of over 6,000 patients showed that while Early Repair was more frequently employed (88%), Deferral led to significantly higher readmissions in the first 30 days but similar rates within a year.
- * The study found that Deferral resulted in lower rates of severe complications like orchiectomy and infections, though there remains a risk of repeat incarceration upon readmission.
