“…Conservative management for testicular rupture is accompanied by several complications that may lead to orchidectomy or testicular atrophy, therefore an early surgical exploration is advocated [1,3]. Conservative approaches are recommended for patients with delayed presentation and include scrotal support, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, bed rest for 24-48 h and serial ultrasound [13,14].…”

“…Testicular rupture, sometimes referred as fractured testis, is a rare complication of testicular trauma and characterized by rip or tears in the tunica albuginea leading to the extrusion of testicular contents. Early surgical exploration and repair of the ruptured capsule is primarily recommended in these cases [3,4].…”

Background: Road traffic accident, commonly enunciated as “RTA”, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, for a urologist, an “RTA” could imply “Rupture of the testicular Tunica Albuginea”, with equivalent, if not higher psychosocial, anatomical and hormonal morbidity and/or mortality. Blunt or penetrating trauma, or degloving injuries, may lead to an RTA, with extrusion of the testicular seminiferous tubules, mandating an early diagnosis and prompt intervention, in order to prevent future complications. Method: A thorough “pubmed” search was conducted with the terms “testicular rupture” and “tunica albuginea rupture”, and all English language articles with these terms in title or abstract, were included in this review. Results/ Conclusion: The following review highlights this urological emergency as an important differential for an “acute scrotum” and provides an insight into the currently available literature documenting testicular ruptures, as well as the various diagnostic modalities and management practices. Additional food for thought remains the need for long term follow up of these patients, in order to assess for hypogonadism or infertility as well as the need to understand the role of the “blood-testis barrier” and possible implications of its breach, with auto antibody production.

Testicular injuries are seldom because of the mobility of the testes and their anatomical position between the thighs, which offers them protection. They represent only a small percentage of traumatic injuries of the genitourinary tract. Etiologically we can categorize testicular trauma in blunt or penetrating. Treatment can be conservative or surgical. Significant haematocele indicates rupture of the tunica albuginea and should be treated with surgical exploration and repair. Treatment decision can be made with the help of real time ultrasonography or sometimes MRI and CT-scans of the testes. Hormonal function remains in most of the cases normal but hormone status should be controlled in complicated cases, which affect fertility and could require hormone replacement.
