Abstract

The issues of developing diagnostic criteria and tactics for the treatment

The aim of the study was to identify the features of the clinical picture in children with testicular torsion and its appendage. The paper presents the results of a prospective controlled study in 142 patients with emergency pathology of the genital organs. The basis for the diagnosis of nosological varieties of acute genital diseases in children was the characteristic of the local status. The diagnostic value of the local status is considered separately for patients with Morgagni hydatid torsion and testicular torsion.
