Case – Repair of extensive testicular rupture: A unique use for biosynthetic grafts

摘要

Testicular rupture is defined as the disruption of the tunica albuginea of the testes. It may occur as a result of blunt or penetrating trauma.1 In cases of testicular rupture, urgent surgical management is required for effective care of the patient and involves primary closure of the defect.2 However, if the testicular rupture is extensive and primary closure is not possible, the patient must either undergo orchiectomy or an alternative method must be used to close the defect. In this case series, we present three cases of extensive testicular rupture, one penetrating and two blunt, where a biosynthetic graft was used to successfully close the defect and preserve the testes.
