“…This is consistent with orchidectomy rate of 23%-55% in most series [10,13,17]. Most orchidectomies carried out for genital GSWs are unilateral [27], and this is exemplified by patient 1 in this report.…”

Background Isolated scrotal gunshot injuries are uncommon. Even more so when they are self-inflicted. The extent of the injury is determined by the caliber of the weapon. Established management protocols when followed yields excellent results. Case presentations We present two male patients, aged 41 and 51 years old, who sustained gunshot injuries to the scrotum following accidental discharges from hand guns stored in their trouser pockets. The first (41 years) sustained grade 5 American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) left testicular injury and was managed by unilateral orchidectomy. The second (51 years old) sustained bilateral grade 4 AAST testicular injuries and had both testes salvaged by primary repair after meticulous debridement. Conclusion Isolated scrotal gunshot injuries can occur when low velocity guns are placed adjacent to the genitalia and accidentally discharged. The testes are endangered and can be devitalized requiring orchidectomy or salvaged by meticulous debridement and primary repair when viability is not compromised.

“…A comparable case study published by Kadouri et al, detailed how scrotal gunshot injuries were managed with computed tomography (CT) and surgical intervention, without detailed sonographic imaging preoperative or postoperative. 7 The outcomes were reported in terms of surgical success, with no mention of subsequent size changes. In contrast, the current case study approach included not only immediate intervention but also detailed assessments of testicular size and preservation of arterial and venous flow.…”

High-resolution sonography is a valuable imaging technique to evaluate scrotal trauma. Scrotal injuries can be caused by both blunt and penetrating forces, causing harm to the testicles and other scrotal contents. This case study follows the diagnosis of a gunshot victim’s testicular injury and how the use of sonography plays a major role in both the diagnosis and surveillance of testicular rupture. The initial sonogram identified mild enlargement and an irregularity of the right testicle. Hemorrhage surrounding the right testicle, soft tissue emphysema, scrotal wall edema, and some echogenic debris and/or a foreign body in the scrotum were also identified. Testicular rupture is a rare but serious injury and prompt medical attention is necessary in such cases to reduce long-term complications, including, but not limited to, infection, disability, and loss of the testicle.
