Overview

Deponds on the causes phatophysiology is different.Inadequate fixation of the lower pole of the testis to the tunica vaginalis causes testicular tortion . If fixation is absent , the testis may torse (twist) on the spermatic cord, lead to produceischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction . Testicular torsion etiology include (eg, trauma, vigorous physical activity) or spontaneously. Acquired hernias due loss of mechanical integrity of the abdominal wall muscles and tendons . primary hernia due Genetic or systemic extracellular matrix disorders and defective wound healing after laparotomy and hernia repairs may predispose to incisional hernias.
