TLDR
It is demonstrated that testicular damage (changes in semen quality and/or endocrine parameters) occurs in the ipsilateral and contralateral testis following torsion, regardless of treatment modality, and with early intervention by detorsion and testicular salvage, subsequent semen quality is likely to remain within normal limits.About:

TL;DR: More investigations on the molecular mechanisms and the antioxidant status in testis are necessary to ascertain the contribution of ROS to the tissue damage produced by spermatic cord torsion in experimental animals and humans.

TL;DR: The early salvage rate (testis viable at exploration) and late atrophy rate in two meta-analyses of 1140 patients in 22 series and 535 patients in eight series are calculated.

TL;DR: Although sperm quality was preserved in most of the patients with the exception of sperm morphology, patients treated with orchiectomy presented better motility and morphology compared with the detorsion group, and it was found that after torsion patients maintain late hormonal levels within the normal range.

Testicular Torsion: Late Results with Special Regard to Fertility and Endocrine Function
TL;DR: Late results were determined for 42 patients who had undergone detorsion and fixation for unilateral testicular torsion in the prepubertal and pubertal age and exocrine and endocrine function for the testes was determined in 30 Patients who had reached postpuberal age.

The Testes After Torsion
TL;DR: In torsion of the testis a large proportion of testes saved by surgery develop secondary atrophy, resulting in decreased spermatogenesis and the fertility of the torsions patients is reduced.

Detection of sperm antibodies in semen using the immunobead test: a survey of 813 consecutive patients.
TL;DR: The results of this investigation suggest that the IBT is an excellent test for routine screening of men for sperm antibodies and is reproducible in 97.5% of cases.

The Effect of Testicular Torsion on the Contralateral Testis
TL;DR: Testicular torsion was demonstrated to cause contralateral testicular damage and the effect of therapy (detorsion vs. orchiectomy) was then studied.
