Traumatic right testicular amputation with left testicular repositioning: A case report of a farmer from Nepal

Abstract

Male external genitalia injury with testicular loss is relatively uncommon in civilian practice. Testicular amputation is usually found with military trauma and self-mutilation. However, they do occur while operating machines for domestic purposes. The standard protocols for the management of traumatic testicular amputation are lacking. The management is focused on resuscitation of the patient and restoration of testicular function with acceptable cosmesis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old man with traumatic right testicular amputation while he was using a thresher for rice cutting.

An unusual etiology of testicular avulsion: A case report

“…It must overcome several constraints, including controlling hemostasis, reimplanting the testis, preventing the risk of infection, and reconstructing the scrotum with acceptable cosmesis. The foremost objective is to save the patient's life, given the risk of spermatic vessels hemorrhage and retraction [ 1 ]. Microvascular reimplantation of the testis should be attempted whenever possible if the patient presents early within 6 h [ 1 ].…”

“…The foremost objective is to save the patient's life, given the risk of spermatic vessels hemorrhage and retraction [ 1 ]. Microvascular reimplantation of the testis should be attempted whenever possible if the patient presents early within 6 h [ 1 ]. This surgery was not performed in our case as the testis was not found.…”

“…Scrotal and testicular injuries are infrequent, constituting merely 1 % of urological injuries [ 1 ]. Genital traumas due to animal bites are uncommon, with dogs being responsible for approximately 90 % of cases seen in emergency departments.…”
