Objective To evaluate the effect of chemical sympathectomy on lactic acid and hypoxanthine concentrations in both testes during unilateral testicular torsion a rat experimental model. Materials methods Four groups, comprising 10 rats each, were studied. Group I was control group, II received placebo underwent torsion, Groups III IV guanethidine monosulphate 6‐OH‐dopamine hydrobromide respectively, torsion. The levels measured. Results In significantly elevated when compared to group. groups that had undergone sympathectomy, decreased contralateral II. Conclusion Chemical prevents elevation testis with Therefore, we conclude damage may result through reflex activating sympathetic system.
