Medical Conditions - Bell Clapper Deformity

Bell clapper deformity is one of the causes of testicular torsion. In males born with bell clapper deformity, the testes hang in the scrotum that can swing freely, resembling a clapper in a bell. This may lead to twisting of the testicle. Bell clapper deformity is often treated by a day case operation to fix the testicles in the scrotum, called scrotal fixation of testes.
