See your MD/ER: If you think you have testicular torsion do not waste any time go to er or see your doctor/urologist asap as if you wait long you may loose your testis.Time is of the essence.

By surgeon's...: Intraoperative decision on to fix or remove torsed testis is largely based on history, how testis looks, and surgeon's experience, and judgment. Will the decision be perfect? No. The more experienced the surgeon, the better the outcome will be. Although intraoperative doppler ultrasound to assess arterial blood flow to the testis may be useful at times.
