7. Treatment
Testicular torsion requires surgery. Although the doctor may be able to manually untwist the testicle, the torsion is likely to reoccur without an operation. During surgery, the surgeon makes a small cut in the scrotum. The testicle and spermatic cord are untwisted and restored to their normal position. Stitching the testicle to the scrotum will help to prevent recurrence. If the testicle is badly damaged, it may be necessary to remove it completely.
