Abstract:
Testicular rupture most commonly occurs in young men. Although it is not life threatening, loss of a testicle could impair future fertility, contribute to a hypogonadal state, and affect social confidence. We report primary testicular reconstruction over orchiectomy even in the setting of a severe injury with a critical review of the literature.
