Abstract:
Testicular luxation is a rare consequence of scrotal trauma, with limited documentation in the literature. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with a straddle injury following a fall from a horse, resulting in laceration of the left scrotum and complete luxation of the testicle and spermatic cord. The patient required urgent surgical intervention to perform wound debridement, left orchidopexy, and scrotum reconstruction, followed by intravenous antibiotics and postoperative hospital care. This management resulted in preserving the gonadal unit and preventing acute or long-term complications. This case highlights the importance of quick access to urgent urological surgical management for this rare pathology. It emphasizes the importance of subsequent care to avoid potential complications, including testicular loss.
