    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Trauma Management

    Background:

    • Traumatic injuries to the pediatric genitourinary system are infrequent.
    • Testicular rupture and epididymal laceration represent uncommon but severe scrotal trauma.
    • Limited pediatric literature exists on the management of such injuries.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric patients presented with scrotal trauma.
    • Case 1: Traumatic rupture of the testis.
    • Case 2: Laceration of the epididymis.

    Findings:

    • Both patients underwent prompt surgical exploration.
    • Surgical intervention was performed early in the clinical course.
    • Good functional and anatomical results were achieved post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical exploration is crucial for managing pediatric testicular and epididymal trauma.
    • Timely intervention can lead to positive outcomes in severe scrotal injuries.
    • This case series contributes to the understanding of pediatric scrotal trauma management.
