Abstract:
Traumatic dislocation of the testis is defined as an ectopically displaced testis as the result of trauma. It is usually associated with motorcycle accidents, but a few cases have been reported from incidents ranging from kicks to the perineum to falling accidents. Traumatic dislocation of the testis occurs as a result of direct pressure exerted on the scrotum causing the testicle to be expelled into the surrounding tissue. We experienced 3 varying cases of superficial inguinal dislocations of the testis. One was due to a motorcycle accident, another to kicks and one to a falling accident. Spontaneous reduction is rare, and early surgical reduction is often required.
