60 year old male wearing ileostomy bag following panproctocolectomy operation in 1999 (ulcerative colitis), points to scar on left lower abdomen, the result of an operation to remove a testicle (orchiectomy) in 1979 following Testicular torsion. His GP initially gave an incorrect diagnosis (fluid) and the patient was sent home. Subsequently he was sent to hospital where the testicle was removed. Testicular torsion (also called testis torsion) requires immediate surgery to save the testicle. If testicular torsion goes on for more than a few hours, it can permanently damage the testicle, and a damaged testicle must be removed.
