Temporary ectopic testicular replantation, refabrication and orthotopic transfer

Considerations in fertility preservation in cases of testicular trauma

“…Two cases of testicular sperm extraction (TESE) , eight cases of testicular replantation , and one case of cryopreservation after injury were identified (Table ).…”

“…The authors deemed the procedure a success. Since then, seven further cases have been reported in the literature, including a combination of unilateral and bilateral testicular injuries . Most of these injuries are the result of self‐mutilation or when using rotatory type machines in industrial or farm machinery.…”

“…Two cases of orthotopic replantation of the testis have also been reported. Ramdas et al reported a gentleman who had complete avulsion of both testes after becoming caught in the rotating shaft of a water aerator in the prawn hatchery where he was working.

Secondary ectopic transfer for replantation salvage after severe wound infection

“…A case of an ectopically replanted hand to the axila was reported, although unfortunately the author did not complete the case and the hand was eventually amputated. After this pioneering report, a few more cases have been published, including thumbs,11–13 digits,14–17 hands and forearms,18, 19 feet,20–23 arm,24 penis,25 testis,26 and scalp 27. Recipient vessels have been the deep inferior epigastric, femoral, radial, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibialis.…”
