What's the difference between detorsion and retorsion?
Detorsion
Definition:
(n.) Same as Detortion.
Example Sentences:
(1) A normal colonoscopy authorizes a medical treatment with attempt of detorsion by passage of a flatus tube per rectum.
(2) The late result of detorsion with caecopexy was intermediate between those achieved with hemicolectomy and detorsion without caecopexy.
(3) There were no fatal outcomes among patients who were treated by radical operation carried out in a planned order of preliminary detorsion.
(4) Of 16 postpubertal patients evaluated following testicular torsion 9 were treated with detorsion and bilateral orchiopexy (detorsion group), and 7 were treated with ipsilateral orchiectomy and contralateral orchiopexy (orchiectomy group).
(5) When detorsion does not occur reasonably soon after the colonoscope enters the right colon, persistent efforts are more likely to be harmful than helpful.
(6) These data suggest that resection should be reserved for patients with necrotic cecum and that detorsion is sufficient for patients with viable cecum.
(7) Early excision-graft of burned hands seems to have totally superseded the conventional method of progressive detorsion often with late grafting.
(8) However, incomplete torsion or spontaneous detorsion may demonstrate normal testicular flow on CFI.
(9) Sigmoid volvulus is best treated by endoscopic detorsion followed by operation in otherwise fit patients.
(10) As in most cases a femoral detorsion occurs as a result of the pelvic osteotomy, basic coupling of the pelvic osteotomy with a femoral osteotomy dose not appear to be necessary.
(11) In sigmoid volvulus, resection (n = 19) and detorsion with or without sigmoidopexy (n = 21) resulted in similar numbers of complications and deaths (6 and 4, and 5 and 3, respectively), though recurrences were more common after detorsion (1 (5%) compared with 5 (24%)).
(12) The detorsion was performed at the initial physical examination, most commonly without analgesia or sedation.
(13) A ten-year-old, previously healthy boy underwent general anaesthesia for detorsion and right orchiopexy.
(14) We discuss the unanswered question, if torsion deformities will be spontaneously corrected by growth-dependent modification of the anteversion of the femoral neck alone or by detorsion of the diaphysial femur too.
(15) After detorsion testis must be firmly fixed in proper position.
(16) Preoperative manual detorsion should be attempted at the initial physical examination because, if successful, the relief of testicular ischemia converts an acute urological emergency into an urgent or elective surgical procedure.
(17) The treatment in the earlier months of pregnancy is immediate laparotomy and detorsion of the uterus and, if practicable, adjunct surgery to eliminate the possible etiologic factors.
(18) In 7 cases, detorsion and saving of the testicle was successful in possession of an early diagnosis.
(19) During a 10-year period 35 of 104 patients with torsion of the spermatic cord had preoperative manual detorsion.
(20) When detorsion is accomplished, subsequent resection of the right colon should be seriously considered as, without it, volvulus is said to recur frequently.
Retorsion
Definition:
(n.) Same as Retortion.
Example Sentences:
(1) A follow-up study of 63 patients who underwent surgery for unilateral testicular torsion with fixation only on the affected side showed that no torsion occurred on the opposite nonfixated side and there was no retorsion during an observation period of an average of more than seven years.
