ObjectiveTo report a patient with azoospermia who achieved an induction of spermatogenesis after undergoing orchiopexy of long-standing bilateral traumatic dislocated testes.DesignCase report.SettingClinical.Patient(S)A 33-year-old man.Intervention(S)Imaging studies, orchiopexy, testicular biopsy, and a review of similar cases.Main Outcome Measure(S)Recovery of spermatogenesis after orchiopexy.Result(S)A patient with azoospermia with bilateral traumatic dislocated testes due to a motorcycle accident 15 years previously. A bilateral testicular dislocation in the superficial inguinal pouch was diagnosed by palpation, imaging studies, and exploration. A recovery of spermatogenesis was obtained after performing orchiopexy of bilateral dislocated testes.Conclusion(S)The recovery of spermatogenesis in patients with azoospermia with a bilateral testicular dislocation therefore may be successfully obtained after appropriately performing orchiopexy.
