Testicular torsion is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention. If not treated promptly, the condition can lead to permanent damage or loss of the affected testicle. Prompt diagnosis is crucial, but challenging. To improve diagnosis, a team at Children’s of Alabama created a testicular torsion model that provides hands-on training for residents to help them determine if the patient is suffering from a torsed testicle. They hope other institutions will be able to use what they created to replicate their own model.
