In the 50 cases of scrotal trauma patients, we investigated in the frequency of testicular rupture and early exploration in comparison with delayed exploration. Then the incidence of testicular rupture was in 46.1% of the cases of exploration, and early exploration of for scrotal trauma has resulted in higher testicular salvage rate than delayed exploration.
