Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some ...: The ending result of complete shut-off of blood supply by testicular torsion is a dead testis, which will resolve in time through its necrosis / liquefaction followed with body reaction by mobilizing white blood cells & "enzymes" to "digest" such dead tissue. However, if infection superimposed, such necrotic soft dead tissue will become abscess requiring timely surgical removal. Detail? Ask Doc.
