Delays in assessment and treatment of acute scrotal pain occur from the time parents are aware of symptoms to seeking medical opinion. Education to increase awareness may reduce time delays. GPs should refer patients directly to a paediatric ED. Local EDs should manage paediatric cases as per the local surgeons' skill base.
