Twenty fertile male Wistar Albino rats were divided into five groups. Sham operation was performed in first group. The left testicular torsion followed by detorsion and bilateral testicular fixation after 2, 4 and 6 hours were performed in 2, 3 and 4 groups, respectively. The left testicular torsion followed by left orchidectomy after 48 hours and right testicular fixation was performed in last group. Fertility was controlled after 8 weeks. We found that unilateral testicular torsion for more than 4 hours have an detrimental effect on the both testes and fertility potential of the rats.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword]Conference Object353356WOS:A1997BJ15X00057N/A
