%X Testicular torsion (TT) is a surgical emergency requiring early diagnosis and surgical intervention to avoid testicular loss. We report 3 pediatric TT cases with testicular salvage to visualize the blood flow by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) on the tunica albuginea of the testis. ICG-FI could not confirm blood flow in the testicular parenchyma; however, it could be detected in postoperative ultrasonography. Blood visualization of the tunica albuginea by ICG-FI may have potential criteria for testicular salvage. Long-term follow-up investigations after testicular salvage are needed to conclude the ICG-FI efficacy for TT.
