PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to examine changes in testicular stiffness at various intervals after the induction of testicular torsion, as well as to assess the predictive value of testicular stiffness for testicular spermatogenesis after torsion. METHODS: Sixty healthy male rabbits were randomly assigned to one of three groups: complete testicular torsion, incomplete testicular torsion, or control. All rabbits underwent preoperative and postoperative scrotal ultrasonography, including shear wave elastography (SWE), at predetermined intervals...
