AbstractThe incidence of traumatic testicular dislocation is rare, and it is usually overlooked in an initial diagnosis. We present a case of bilateral dislocated testes after a traffic accident that was treated via orchidopexy one week later. No testicular complications had occurred by the time of the follow-up visit. Generally, surgery is often postponed owing to a late diagnosis or another major organ injury, and the adequate timing of surgery is still under debate. We performed a review of past cases, which showed similar testicular outcomes irrespective of surgical timing. Delayed intervention may be a feasible decision after a patient's hemodynamic status is stable for surgery. To prevent delayed diagnosis, scrotal examination should not be overlooked in any patients presenting with pelvic trauma to the emergency department.
