Here are some ..: It is known that disintegrated died-out testicular tissue after torsion may potentially impair the ability of sperm formation from the remaining testis. But, that is nothing could be done but the concern of possible in the remaining testis is real so to have it surgically fix is advised. If not, just be vigilant to seek care within 1 hour after sudden onset of torsion since time window is 7-8 hrs.
