Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Acute scrotal pain (ASP) remains one of the most common male urologic emergencies in the pediatric age group. The most concerning outcome of testicular torsion (TT) is the need for orchiectomy, which has a negative impact on the child's development in general and on sexual development and psychology in particular. Time is the most important factor in the treatment of TT. Parental awareness of ASP indicating the possibility of TT is a significant factor in children's hospital admission time. Sociocultural background may be an indicator in parental awareness. OBJECTIVE:This study sought to determine if parental sociocultural and education level is associated with delayed treatment for TT. STUDY DESIGN:This retrospective study evaluated data for patients with scrotal or abdominal pain and TT at two hospitals in Konya, Turkey from 2012 to 2020. Study participants were the parents of the patients treated for TT. Participants were contacted by telephone and asked about their educational background. The study population was divided into 2 groups based on parent characteristics. Group 1 parents had an education level less than high school, had no health insurance, were in need of state aid, and had a low sociocultural background. Group 2 parents had an education level of at least high school or higher and had health insurance. Symptom duration (time between symptom onset and hospital admission) and surgical procedures for the patients were compared between the 2 parent groups. RESULTS:Of the 140 patients who received a diagnosis of TT, 77 were in Group 1 and 63 in Group 2. Mean patient age was 12.7 ± 2.7 (5-16) years Median symptom duration was 7 (1-120) hours. Symptom duration was higher in Group 1, but no statistically significant differences were noted between groups (Group 1 duration was 8h vs. Group 2 duration of 6h; p = 0.331). Orchiectomy was performed for 62 (44.3%) patients and testicular-sparing surgery for 78 (55.7%). Orchiectomy rates between groups were statistically significant and higher in Group 1 with 41 (53.2%) versus 21 (33.3%) in Group 2. CONCLUSION:Factors such as low sociocultural family background and low parental education level increase the risk of orchiectomy for their children. Awareness of the symptoms of TT may minimize the possibility of testicular loss.
