Testicular dislocation: A rare consequence of blunt scrotal injury

Abstract

We present a case of a 22-year-old man who presented with traumatic unilateral testicular dislocation resulting from a blunt scrotal injury. Colour flow Doppler imaging revealed a viable testis dislocated in the inguinal canal. Inguinal exploration confirmed a healthy and viable testis, which was relocated in the scrotum and an orchiopexy was performed. The patient made an uneventful recovery. We recommend early intervention once the diagnosis of testicular dislocation is established to preserve testicular function. © 2009 Canadian Urological Association.
