Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of traumatic ectopic testis with torsion.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on a case of traumatic ectopic testis with torsion and reviewed relevant literature.
RESULTS:After diagnosed with traumatic ectopic testis with torsion, the patient underwent exploratory operation for confirmation of orchiocatabasis, followed by testicular reduction and fixation. Follow-up visit at 1 month after surgery showed good blood supply and no obvious testicular atrophy.
CONCLUSION:Traumatic ectopic testis with torsion is an extremely rare emergency condition, for which color Doppler ultrasonography is an effective means of examination. Once suspected of or confirmed with the problem, the patient should receive exploratory surgery, testicular reduction and fixation within 6 hours, and close postoperative observation.
