Witnessed Torsion in Extremely Premature Newborns: 2 Cases of Testicular Salvage in the NICU.

ABSTRACT

Neonatal testicular torsion is an uncommon event that rarely results in testicular salvage. We present 2 cases in the neonatal intensive care unit of extremely premature males (<28 weeks gestation) with witnessed testicular torsion, prompt diagnosis, surgical detorsion, and good short-term outcomes. Although an uncommon scenario, we present the feasibility of surgery in the extremely premature infant and potential for testicular salvage.
