Assessment of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the Diagnosis of Testicular Torsion in Children

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: %) in children with unilateral TT and compared values to those measured in children with another cause of testicular pain and in control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: % between the two testicles for the groups was compared (paired or unpaired Student's tests, or Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests; p < 0.05). RESULTS: % was 68.3 % (SD:15.3) on the TT side vs 69.8 % (SD:16.9) on the contralateral side. The difference between the two sides was not significant for either group (CG: 3.2 % [SD:16.8], p = 0.6; Group 1 TT: -2.8 % [SD:16.6], p = 0.4). For patients with severe testicular inflammation without TT, a non-significant trend for greater differences between sides was observed (71.8 % [SD:12.6] vs 82.8 % [SD:14.6]; Delta -14.8 % [SD:18.5], p = 0.2). CONCLUSION: %. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
