 We performed surgical treatment in 18 cases of torsion of the spermatic cord during the past four years . Patient age ranged from 2 to 54 years old : 13 cases were 16 or less . Torsion involved the left side in 11 cases . Surgical detorsion was 
 in 10 cases , but in the other 8 cases orchiectomy was unavoidable . Of 8 cases treated with orhiectomy , the diagnosis was delayed in 7 cases due to mistaken diagnosis , primarily epididymitis by doctors in local clinics and generasl hospitals . The 
 delay in the orchiectomy group ranged from 54 hours to 2 weeks with the average of 6 . 28 days . For one case , the visit to our hospital was too late . In 10 cases treated with surgical detorsion , all of the patients visited our hospital within 48 
 Improvement of the testis salvage rate requires that adolescents , their families and teachers should learn to recognize this disease , and particularly doctors of other departments should recognize it as acute scrotum .
