Summary

Scrotal trauma, often from sports or accidents, requires prompt evaluation. Most cases resolve with non-surgical treatment, and clinical findings guide surgical decisions, preventing testicular atrophy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Scrotal trauma frequency is rising due to sports, violence, and accidents.
  • Associated testicular and spermatic cord injuries are a significant concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics, management, and outcomes of scrotal trauma.
  • To evaluate the role of diagnostic imaging and clinical findings in treatment decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 41 scrotal trauma cases.
  • Analysis of treatment modalities (surgical vs. non-surgical) and diagnostic techniques used (ultrasonography, gammagraphy, Doppler, CAT).

Main Results:

  • 37 non-penetrating and 4 penetrating injuries were recorded.

  • Non-surgical treatment was used in 73.1% of cases; surgical in 26.8%.
  • Diagnostic imaging included ultrasonography (19), gammagraphy (10), Doppler (2), and CAT (2).

    • Conclusions:

    • Clinical findings are paramount in deciding on surgical intervention.
    • All cases showed satisfactory outcomes with no testicular atrophy during 8-60 months follow-up.
