Abstract
Scrotal emergencies are rare but potentially life and fertility threatening. This article explains how to diagnose and manage scrotal emergencies such as testicular torsion, Fournier gangrene, and testicular trauma. These diagnoses are often difficult to discern from less-concerning causes. This article helps to elucidate the differences between the dangerous and the less-harmful pathologic conditions.Entities:
