Early recognition,timely diagnosis and early intervention are the key to avoid orchiectomy. This research reviewed clinical features and nursing experience of 100 cases with testicular torsion. The formulation of standardized diagnosis and treatment process can effectively shorten the time from visiting the hospital to the operation. Meanwhile,we need to strengthen the popular science education for young children and their parents,and training for the primary medical personnel,striving for the golden time of treatment together to reduce the occurrence of testicular necrosis.
