Repair of shattered solitary testicle

Testicular, epididymal and vasal injuries

“…Experience from several reported series indicates that testicular loss is significantly higher, at ≈ 20%, if the injury is managed conservatively rather than with early exploration and repair, when the loss falls to ≈ 6% [14]. Bilateral injuries particularly should be managed by partial orchidectomy and repair [10]; even a shattered solitary testicle can be salvaged [15]. Follow‐up indicates that testicular salvage preserves fertility better than orchidectomy [16].…”
