Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effects of vasodilator therapies and chemical sympathectomy on ipsilateral and contralateral testicular spermatogenetic activity after unilateral testicular torsion using DNA flow cytometry and thus determine whether contralateral testicular damage occurs through a reflexively decreased blood flow.
