Testicular Dislocation

Testicular dislocation after blunt perineal trauma is a rare event and a diagnosis that can be easily overlooked. Careful examination can help facilitate early and appropriate treatment. Timely diagnosis and surgical management are of paramount importance to preserve normal spermatogenic function in the dislocated testicle. We describe a case of testicular dislocation and discuss some of the issues surrounding diagnosis and treatment.
