How should testicular torsion be treated?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. How should I treat testicular torsion?

Doctor's answer:

Segmental epididymal self-locking can be treated through epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis: Under a surgical microscope magnified 10 to 20 times, two methods of epididymal-vas deferens anastomosis, Silber and Wagenknecht, are adopted. The main difference between the two methods is that the Silber method involves end-to-end anastomosis between the expanded epididymal duct and the vas deferens, while the Wagenknecht method involves end-side anastomosis between the expanded epididymal duct and the vas deferens. The expanded epididymal duct is incised, and the fluid dripping from the epididymal duct stump is collected first to search for sperm, confirming the presence of sperm.
