An international consensus for mitigation of the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on laparoscopic training.

Aim: Achieve an international consensus on how to recover lost training opportunities. The results of this study will help inform future EAES guidelines about the recovery of surgical training before and after the pandemic.

Background: A global survey conducted by our team demonstrated significant disruption in surgical training during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Seminoma presented as testicular rupture: Case report and literature review.

Rupture of the testis as a result of blunt trauma is rarely seen in daily urological practice. We report an unusual case of incidental seminoma diagnosed after surgical exploration and subsequent orchidectomy of a severed testis following testicular injury as a result of trivial blunt trauma. This case highlights the inability of investigative tools, such as a scrotal ultrasound, in distinguishing an underlying tumour in the presence of testicular parenchymal damage.
