Traumatic right testicular amputation with left testicular repositioning: A case report of a farmer from Nepal

Abstract

Male external genitalia injury with testicular loss is relatively uncommon in civilian practice. Testicular amputation is usually found with military trauma and self-mutilation. However, they do occur while operating machines for domestic purposes. The standard protocols for the management of traumatic testicular amputation are lacking. The management is focused on resuscitation of the patient and restoration of testicular function with acceptable cosmesis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old man with traumatic right testicular amputation while he was using a thresher for rice cutting.
