In testicular torsion what does it mean by loss of testicle?

Twisting of cord: Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum.Pain is associated with torsion. If caught in time testis can be untwisted and rescued but if too much time goes by the testis is no longer viable and has to be removed.

If necrosis occurs..: If the duration of one-way full-blown twist is longer than 6-8 hours and there is no change in the color of torsed testis after untwisting torsion, most likely, surgeon will need to painfully declare the loss of testis so to just remove it (orchiectomy).
