Traumatic unilateral testicular dislocation

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of traumatic testicular dislocation, an unusual complication of pelvic trauma. METHODS/RESULTS: A case of traumatic testicular dislocation that had been diagnosed two months after the initial injury is presented. CT and color doppler US revealed a viable right testis displaced in the inguinal subcutaneous region. The testis was repositioned in the scrotum and orchidopexy was performed. Follow-up control evaluation at 6 months revealed a normal testis in the right hemiscrotum. CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic testicular dislocation is a rare complication that may be undetected at the time of the initial injury. Surgical reduction and repositioning achieve good results.
