The following recommendations can be made for treatment of blunt testicular injury: if rupture of the testis is detected sonographically, immediate surgical exploration is indicated. Every change in testicular structure must be considered a possible sign of testicular rupture. Sonographically detected hematoceles without visible signs of rupture are not given clear recommendations in the literature. However, early surgical intervention (within 72 hours) seems to increase the likelihood of preserving the testis. In every case of unclear clinical or sonographic findings, surgical exploration of the scrotum should be done. If offers a safe and quick diaganosis with a very low complication rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
