Resumen

La torsión testicular es una patología que afecta directamente la calidad del esperma de los pacientes debido a la ruptura de la barrera hematotesticular, lo cual hace que se formen anticuerpos antiesperma, que inclusive afectan al testículo contralateral. Múltiples estudios tanto en modelos animales como humanos, permiten hacer evidente la relación entre la torsión testicular y la formación de anticuerpos antiesperma y su repercusión clínica, principalmente, en la fertilidad.

Abstract

Testicular torsion is a condition that directly affects the quality of the sperm of patients due to rupture of the blood-testis barrier; it leads to the formation of antisperm antibodies and can even affect the contralateral testis. This condition has been demonstrated previously, and multiple studies have been conducted in both animal and human models. In this review, the evidence from studies of testicular torsion, the formation of antisperm antibodies, and the clinical repercussions, mainly with respect to fertility, is presented.
