Testicular Torsion Evaluation by ultraSonography Technic Imaging

The goal of this observational study is to assess the diagnostic concordance between testicular Doppler ultrasound of the spermatic cord vessels performed by an emergency physician and the diagnosis of testicular torsion made by the urologist during an exploration in the operating room (Gold standard) in men patients between 16 to 70 years old with suspicion of testicular torsion.

Participants will receive ultrasound performed by emergency physician during their visit to the emergency department. Results of this exam will be compare to gold standard. If the results are consistent, the investigators will have demonstrated the value of integrating ultrasound by the emergency physician into the management of testicular torsion.

Treatment and study plan

testicular ultrasound

Other

each patient will receive an testicular ultrasound to confirm diagnostic of testicular torsion

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of patient with diagnostic of testicular torsion

    Time frame: At enrollement

    Concordance between testicular ultrasound and chirurgical diagnostic of testicular torsion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Identify predictive factors for diasgnosis of testicular torsion

    Time frame: At enrollement

    Describe the predictive factors for the diagnosis of testicular torsion by multimodal regression including demographic data, clinical signs and complementary lab results.

  2. Epidemiological factors of testicular pain

    Time frame: At enrollement

    Describe the epidemiological factors of testicular pain based on age and antedecents

  3. Doppler result concordance between emergency physician and radiologist

    Time frame: From enrollement to 48 hours

    Compare the results between testicular ultrasound performed by an emergency physician and the same ultrasound performed by a radiologist

  4. Characterised patients who benefit ultrasound from a radiologist according to final diagnostic

    Time frame: From enrollement to 48 hours

    Simple description of the demographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients who benefited from an ultrasound at 48 hours by a radiologist according to the final diagnosis retained
