Traumatic Dislocation of the Testis with a Ruptured Vas

Yang, Kee Cheol; Kim, Young Soo

Abstract

Traumatic dislocation of the testis occurs when a normally distended testis assumes, as a result of trauma, a non-scrotal position by passing along fascial plane and through normal anatomic aperture. Less than 50 cases of true traumatic dislocation have been reported. The etiology, classification and treatment of testicular luxation are reviewed briefly. If efforts at closed reduction are unsuccessful, management requires surgical exploration and orchiopexy. The prognosis for recovered or fertility potential after this repair of dislocation of the testis is good. We report the case that one testis has traumatic dislocation with a ruptured vas deferens and the other has a primary spermatogenic defect.
