A Rare and Easily Overlooked Case of Bilateral Traumatic Testicular Dislocation and an Alternative Viewpoint on Delayed Management
The incidence of traumatic testicular dislocation is rare, and it is usually overlooked in an initial diagnosis. We present a case of bilateral dislocated testes after a traffic accident that was treated via orchidopexy one week later. No testicular complications had occurred by the time of the foll...

description | The incidence of traumatic testicular dislocation is rare, and it is usually overlooked in an initial diagnosis. We present a case of bilateral dislocated testes after a traffic accident that was treated via orchidopexy one week later. No testicular complications had occurred by the time of the follow-up visit. Generally, surgery is often postponed owing to a late diagnosis or another major organ injury, and the adequate timing of surgery is still under debate. We performed a review of past cases, which showed similar testicular outcomes irrespective of surgical timing. Delayed intervention may be a feasible decision after a patient’s hemodynamic status is stable for surgery. To prevent delayed diagnosis, scrotal examination should not be overlooked in any patients presenting with pelvic trauma to the emergency department. |
