Official title
TESTI : Testicular Torsion Evaluation by ultraSonography Technic Imaging
Overview
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.
Interventions
- Other testicular ultrasound
each patient will receive an testicular ultrasound to confirm diagnostic of testicular torsion
Primary outcome measures
- Number of patient with diagnostic of testicular torsion [Time frame: At enrollement]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Identify predictive factors for diasgnosis of testicular torsion [Time frame: At enrollement]
- Epidemiological factors of testicular pain [Time frame: At enrollement]
- Doppler result concordance between emergency physician and radiologist [Time frame: From enrollement to 48 hours]
- Characterised patients who benefit ultrasound from a radiologist according to final diagnostic [Time frame: From enrollement to 48 hours]
